While I really don't care about the calorie counts (if I did, I would look them up online), I think it's a bit much to have such specific information displayed on the menus. Why not the chemicals that most "meat" and "bread" and the like are laden with from large restaurants? Why not warnings about corn syrup and caramel coloring? I don't think it's going to change any habits - people are ignorant because they choose to be on subjects like this. I would be offended if this information were added to, say, the menu at Le Pigeon or Hiroshi. The only "big chain" place I (occasionally) visit is Burgerville.
