UPDATE: Profits over Health

1,600 Calories

An update from the post on 3/17/11.  The FDA has granted movie theaters an exception to posting calorie counts on their menus.  This is just another example of a business lobby group exercising (if only we could get them to do real exercise)  it’s influence over the government.  So rather than do the right thing and give people the information they need to make informed decisions for their health, we focus on short term profits.  While the movie theaters increases their bottom line, the American public will continue to increase their waist line.  In the long run, this decision will hurt everyone as the health care costs from poor decision making will only increase in the years to come.
