  • Descrição: "The restaurant industry is extremely good at providing food in an efficient and speedy way but they're notoriously clumsy and inconvenient in the way they provide objective information about food," he says. "While a McDonald's tray liner might list 2000 nutrition numbers, it's all in font about a millimetre tall. Plainly they don't want to provide information in a way that's going to let people make an informed choice." Posting calorie information is a "no brainer," Freedhoff told delegates. "There may be more to nutrition than just calories, but if we had to pick one thing to be the price tag, calories are the currency of weight. When it comes to price tags, there's other info I might want to know if I was buying a shirt, for example, such as whether it was manufactured using child labour. But ultimately the most important thing I need to know is the price tag, and I can look elsewhere for that additional information." "It's early days still," he says. "As for the voluntary program, is it perfect? No. Is there room for improvement? Absolutely. I think what we need to do is test the kind of mechanism we already have in place and evolve our policy positions based on that evidence." - Lauren Vogel, CMAJ
