Court Says NYC’s Calorie Count Rule Can Go Ahead After Officials Agree Not to Enforce The Rules Until July

Note from Connie: More news comes from New York about this new regulation requiring calorie information in restaurants with more than 15 sites. Jennifer brings you the details.

After New York City officials agreed not to fine restaurant chains for failing to list calorie counts on their menus until July 18, a federal appeals court said the rule requiring food outlets to post the information can now proceed.

So says Larry Neumeister of the Associated Press.

Huh?

If there’s no penalty for not listing the calories, does the court really believe the restaurants will do so? How can a rule have any meaning if it can’t be enforced, even just for a while?
