Another food warning?
It looks like there could be yet another warning sign about the food we are consuming at restaurants in Chicago if the Menu Education and Labeling Act passes.
This bill would require restaurants to post a sign no smaller than 5”X8” stating that "certain foods on the menu may be high in calories, grams of saturated fat plus trans fat, and milligrams of sodium per serving, which has been known to cause diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure.” Similar bills have been introduced and defeated in the past. Several states have proposed similar bills this year.
You can support the Menu Education and Labeling act in Illinois here by March 24, 2007.
