Talking Points

Surprised? California, Massachusetts, and 14 other states and localities have passed menu labeling policies, which provide calorie information on the menus and menu boards at fast-food and other chain restaurants.

Please write to your Members of Congress and urge them to support the national menu labeling policy!

Subject:

Dear [ Decision Maker ],

(Edit Letter Below)

I urge you to support the national menu labeling policy in the health reform bill.  The policy would provide calories on chain restaurant menus and menu boards.  Menu labeling would allow Americans to make informed choices and take responsibility for their diets when eating out.

This policy is in demand, as Americans eat out more and are increasingly concerned about health and nutrition; 78% of Americans support menu labeling.  In addition, the national menu labeling policy is supported by both health organizations and the restaurant industry.

Without menu labeling, who can tell that a TenderCrisp Chicken Sandwich (790 calories) at Burger King has more calories than a Whopper (670 calories), or that a large chocolate milkshake at McDonald's (1,160) has more than double the calories of a Big Mac (560)?

As Congress works to improve America's health through health reform, menu labeling is one low-cost, effective solution to help prevent and manage obesity and other diet-related diseases, which are life-impairing, as well as costly for Americans.

Menu labeling policies have already passed in California, Massachusetts, Maine, and Oregon, as well as in 11 localities.  A New York City study showed that 90% of people think menu labeling is a good idea; 82% report that it has affected their purchasing decisions.

Please let me know if you will support the national menu labeling policy as part of health reform.

Sincerely,
