If you want to know the calorie count of a food item, where do you go? Do you trek down to your local library and pick up a nutrition book? Are you on a first-name basis with your local nutritionist or dietitian? Probably not. In most cases (9 our of 10 polled), people nowadays search online. With most restaurants providing nutrition data online, as well as independent nutrition sites, it is not difficult to find how much sodium or fat is in your lunch.
So, since companies are not hiding this information from consumers, can it really be their fault? They are following the consumer's right to be informed. A restaurant has educated us on if their product is healthy or not...it is now our informed decision on whether or not we choose it.
