Looks like Calorie Counts at fast food joints in NYC has been successful in some ways. Though it is debated that the people who pay attention to the calorie counts are people who are already aware of their nutritional intake. Also, we know that calories are not the only consideration when thinking about healthy eating (but seriously, not getting a salad that is 1200 calories is probably a good thing). Regardless, some people find the counts beneficial and it appears that some restaurants are making changes to their menus because of it. I'd say that alone makes it worth doing.
According to the article there are some federal bills waiting to be passed, that could make this more of a national priority. Viva la calorie count!
