Default "Eateries wary of menu labels - Plan would require nutritional data"

***snip***
The "blossom-cut, deep-fried onion at 2,882 calories" shows 58 points with
just the calories. I believe it is 80 when you factor in fat and fiber.

The comments made at the end of the article speak to adding the nutrition
information as some choices are counter-intuitive and the consumer needs
the right information to make a better choice. Burger better than
chicken...I vote burger!


I'm glad I split the onion 9 ways the last time I ate one, though I don't
see how people can eat a whole one. After I manage to eat 3 or 4 of the
"petals" of the nearly a hundred on the onion, it is already soggy and
gross.
