Even though California lawmakers are struggling to reach a compromise with the state budget, they were able to agree on an important public health issue -- menu labeling.
Earlier this week, legislators sent SB 1420 to the Governor's desk. Once the governor signs SB 1420 into law (yes, I'm taking the optimist role here) all chain restaurants with 20 or more locations in California will be required to post calorie counts on menus and menu boards by 2011.
While it may not change waistlines overnight, it certainly is a step in the right direction in fighting our country's rampant obesity epidemic.
