Top kek. Say good bye to your "best fast food" threads, degenerates.
>tons of small Italian pizza places and delis near me
This doesn’t effect me
>push food companies and restaurants to reformulate products so that they aren’t so hideously high in calories
But I thought #YesAllWomyn were beautiful at any size and men should not have preferences at all. How will disclosing calorie counts help SJWs promote fat acceptance?
>>Top kek. Say good bye to your "best fast food" threads, degenerates.
>implying some numbers are going to change peoples' diets
You're delusional, faggot.
They do this in Canada. For me, all its changed now is I buy the cheapest food with the highest calorie count. That way I know I'm getting the most food for the best price
More daddy state!!!
People won't care if they don't know how to read the labels
Reminder cal counts makes people eat more
This statement is true, as I am someone who is a fatass never bothered to see how many calories I am intaking. The times I do, never cared about it and still ate an absurd amount of or the entire thing. This won't do shit, the people who don't care, are not going to magically care. The people who do care, well they aren't likely to be eating in such places, and on the off chance they do, they have an understanding on what shit already is high in calories.
They are actually useful though.
I already know fast food is shit but it helps to keep track of what im putting in.
"please chop up a little white girl and put her in my kebab" - the post
doubt the lazy and ignorant will care what they are eating and wont understand nutritional data.
up the calories and taste, let the weak eat themselves out of the gene pool.
Am i the only person who uses them opposite way fatties do to get the most fuel per dollar?
>Forcing transparency is statism and therefore bad
>"There is literally no problem if Mr.Goldenstein put nicotine in his product to make it addictive and is 60% made of sugar and salt, just go see Dr.Shekelberg if you have any issue :^)"
I'm fine with this. Ain't really gonna do shit to motivate most fatties or companies to lower their food calories but at least I can tell what's in it right there.
This is how I would look at things.
Aren't those obese Fastfood places already advertising with their calory count on their heart attack burgers?
They should make sugar and sodium visible too.
a bit off topic
i wonder how common that mindset is, holding almost no value for how much protein or vitamins a meal has.
it would make sense why there are so many people that say a vegan diet didnt work for them or found themselves going to the hospital from malnutrition. completely unequipped to make informed food choices for themselves..... eating sticks of vegan butter cause the calories are big number and big number mean good for tum tum.
a magic trick for family gatherings. say youre a vegan and watch all the fatfucks that eat at McDonalds for 3 meals everyday suddenly become Nutritionists.
i like this shit actually.
went to dave and busters with some friends to play racing games, beers and food.
It can be quite shocking how even just 3 chicken tendies and some fries adds up to 1200 calories real quick, that's without dippers.
it's cool cause i can pig out a bit and know what deficit i need to be at the rest of the week to maintain.
summer's coming boys.
There are still people that will disregard that.
I'd honestly like it to apply to all restaurants.
They should at least have an honest approximation.
Even on condiment packets.
Most 'home cooking', 'soul food' and 'comfort food' are filled with butter/oil/grease/fat to the extreme.
People need to be aware of their habits.
Then they'll see its just their poor choices.
>actually a good policy
>"b-but obama REEEEEEEEEEE"

More like, say goodbye to shitty franchise food. This actually favors those unhealthy mom and pop stores
Calories or Kilocalories? There is a huge difference (1000 units).
>High cals means I'm filled more
I don't see a problem with this. They have the means to show us what they are selling and the customer has an interest in knowing. Fast food already does this and its personally helped me lose about 20lbs.
Calories
Found the onions faggot
what an amazing story
>Say good bye to your "best fast food"
Fast food pioneered having nutrition facts on the menu, good luck with that.
Idk if it's the same in europe... in america a Calorie is a kilocalorie
So those sweet sweet doughnuts have 4.8 Kcal, and women are suggested to eat around 1700 kcal/day. So an average woman can eat 354.166666667 of those doughnuts on the pic related. Interesting.
They never specified how big the label has to be
What happened to common sense? Donuts make you fat. Burgers make you fat. Want to know the calories? Use your fucking phone. These restaurants have calorie counters on their websites. You cannot realistically post everything. I think it's Dominos that was complaining about the thousands of possible combinations that would be impossible to post.
BUT EATING TO DULLNESS IS THE ONLY WAY I CAN DEAL WITH REALITY
We've had them in California for years. No one cares.
>He doesn't keto
Just work out until you are tired and then eat to dullness
>all these shit-metabolism faggots who are worried about 1200 calories in a meal
I regularly overeat and never gain a pound. People react differently to foods. For example, the native Americans out here can't even eat a hamburger bun without going diabetic. Let people get as fat or as not fat as they want, and allow the free market to determine if companies want to disclose calories. If they don't, and your tapioca asses can't handle not knowing how many calories are going to go into your skinnyfat soỵboy gut, then pass up on that location.
Fuck me, Jow Forums is getting more and more statist lately.
>see calendar
Oh...
Holy shit, the FDA really is a scam. Lets throw more regulations out there to increase the barrier to entry to the market.
>Burgers make you fat
But that's not true, it's starches, bread and sugar that makes you fat.
Fat and protein are optimal energy sources.
Fast food/ takeaway degenerate? Its the only part of nonwhite cultures I value, only need a tiny minority to run the odd chinky etc tho. Sound like a basedboy shill to me. You're just sore cos you bloat like a lesbo-feminazi-catlady...
TFW you can eat what you want & gain 0ish weight (unless training)
>Jow Forums is getting more and more statist
Yeah as it turns out judeo-libertarianism doesn't provide the basic requirements a nation needs.
canada has this on fast food. mcdonalds calories are on the menu/packaging for example. still fat. people arent educated on what any of the shit on packaging means, so its pointless. you learn basic health terms in like grade 3 and thats last time you address anything.
I find it hard to eat above 1200 calories a day and I'm 5'10, how do you fat fucks do it?
>implying US measurements make sense.
bulking
>can't ever treat myself to restaurant food because it is all low calorie bullshit
RIP gains
if you need to know how many calories are in a donut while you eat fist fulls you need to be gassed.
I would rather they post the number of niggers that were involved in preparing it.
Well you will only be able to gas someone if you can catch them fatass
>Buying cheapest processed and packed food
>Not growing your own food
Enjoy your cancer
>Fast food already does this and its personally helped me lose about 20lbs.
>Wait, wait, wait, hold on here, you're telling me that the double bacon mega king burger is bad for me? Shit man, I thought it had healthy stuff like carrots and shit like that.
nothing will change. this is all about healthnut virtue signalling.
>if you can catch them
lel, starving African bringing the bants
I’m a fat ass, I rarely eat fast food but even if I did this wouldn’t stop me from eating that trash because it tastes good.
calories are a worthless measurement
This, weaklings should learn self control by suffering the consequences, that way culture would adapt teaching the responsibility by parents to rise their children properly. Safety measures like these make it easy to genetic weaklings (unfit to be parents) to reproduce while expecting the government to take care about everyone with regulations, stripping the importance of the family unit, the corner stone for culture.
Similar to how US whites deal with guns, exposed to dangers of it, people/culture becomes adapted to it, while responsibility of each individual about the guns is through the roof. Niggers and mutts are another story tho, Civ-nat future is incompatible with them, hence the crime problems US has, soon to become like Brazil if trend continues.
THICC
This
The amount of sodium in pretty much everything is fucking unreal.
>why is my healthcare so expensive
Who are you quoting?
most of your country
UK has the highest obesity rate in all of europe...
oh yeah putting calorie counts is going to stop human trash from shoving shit down their useless throats
Except you’re not.
how can individual burger states allow some cucked federal institution tell its local, private companies what to do with their menu?
You don't need to count calories to know what you should eat and what not.
It's funny because carbs, not calories, make you fat. It's almost like they want all Americans to be gargantuan fat asses.
It's useless, at the end eating 400 calories of something made with corn syrup, a lot of salt and s. oy doesn't equal eating 400 calories of something made with good ingredients.
This penalizes fit people the most.
Why should I have to subsidize the purchases of people who cannot control themselves?
A progressive BMI tax makes more sense.
I see some nutrition labels on mcdonalds fries here.
I heard posting calorie counts don't actually do anything because people are retarded. Some people even turn it into a game.
that's my point. Don't eat fast carbs.
>medieval times
>bake bread
>sell
>modern times
>ask government for license to bake bread

>have to pay specialist in laboritories to count calories of your food
>sell and register it on your income bill

Having information on your food is a positive thing.
However, the state mandating companies to comply is where it goes wrong.
People will keep consuming things regardless if they know that they are bad for them.
Yet if you don't follow any of those guidelines, you have either huge fines (payable in currency emitted by the same apparatus that is fining you), or the full weight and consequences of law enforcement.
And they wonder why Caesar encountered so much resistance which led to it's demise.
the only thing you really need is Net Carbohydrate counting
Here's what's going to happen: No one reads it, everything continues as it did before.
Some sort of regulations are important, but that's the problem with governments, they never stop finding new supposed problems to regulate, under the guise of helping the society, but really the way of getting new ways to tax (extort) "capitalism", slowly growing the size and control, imploying more tax funded bureaucracy (parasites). And at the end calling it "free country". Eventually it's a corporate prison, as state becomes a corporation. Mostly happens in Civ-Nat states where lack of identity runs rampart, as rulers/people hate each other and only care about money in those places, as opposed to cohesive ethnic societies with stable identifiable past and present culture/ethnicity.
>tfw not dependent on fast food every day for every meal
Both my body and wallet are better off, really.
'Course that doesn't mean I can't indulge every once in a while, but really, people who eat 5 Big Macs a day are suffering worse than I am having one whopper every 4 days.
I get to indulge in a satisfying piece of food, get my food-high, whereas everyone else needs to keep eating to keep their high.
It's like they don't know what the word "moderation" is.
Regulations defined and enforced by who?
That's the main problem.
A society will have common values that each individual will enforce in their own choices.
All it takes is a negative event from an actor for the effect to ripple throughout the other agents it is exposed to.
Regulations are entirely artificial and are just there for people's peace of mind.
We've replaced God by the Government, the Clergy by Bureaucrats.
Literally everyone already does this.
>implying you can't get fat off of fats and proteins
People bulk on keto you know
That's actually pretty handy the only problem is there are ways to hide the real calorie count. I'd LOVE it if they told the truth and didn't have to make my own food all the damn time
They’ve already been doing that here and it hasn’t changed shit. No one gives a fuck and most don’t even pay attention to it
>every business, out of their own will and business strategy, provides nutritional information
>all businesses are forced to provide nutritional information under the threat of legal action (fines, asset seizure, etc)
The above is what people are mad at.
I get that, believe me. That's why I'm saying making it mandatory is redundant. Nutritional info is posted literally everywhere already as is.
Ha calories don't play a major role in weight unless you lay around most of the time. The real problem with weight is the sugar, saturated fats, and sodium. Even advertised "healthy" goods are designed to kill you slowly so you can't collect gibs later on in life.
You see though how this will become a firewall for new businesses to enter the market though, right?
I would assume the nutritional info will need to be done via an accredited firm that will provide a bona-fide reading of the nutritional data of the business. Someone wanting to start a new restaurant will now have to account for this.
These sort of regulations only benefit current big players. They inherently promote oligopoles.
Doesnt most of the civilized world do this?
Do you know how many calories there are in a pizza?
In the US one Calorie is 1000 calories. Instead of and kilo, the 'c' is capitalized.
Government at it's worst. Literally just a bottle neck.
Pizza is bad for your health. The kikes want you full of carbs so you never know the goodness of a fast.
Yup. NYC here. Don't places with 20+ locations already list calories?
Actually a good thing
I uaed to go into a sandwich shop and buy a large. But with the calorie count there telling me large is 1200-1400 calories, I opt for medium instead
Honestly I wish these shops would just have a delicious alternative for bread that isn't fucking lettuce wraps
Nah it really can't be that hard. All the ingredients have the nutritional info already
What sort of alternative do you propose?
Chicken buns
But for reals, maybe a cauliflower-cheese flatbread. Something engineered to taste like bread without all the carbs
This will do nothing.
they'll just say "X item is 2 servings, and it's 600 Calories per serving"
Nevermind that X item is not divided in two, and you can't buy a single serving portion.
They do this with small bags of chips.
Read the back, and it says "160 Calories per serving", then you see an asterisk.
Then, at the bottom, in fine print, it says "package contains 2.5 servings"
It's fucking 400 Calories then. this 1.5oz bag of chips is somehow 400 fucking Calories.
