The California State Assembly will be voting on SB 1420, introduced by Senator Padilla, which requires chain restaurants to post calorie information on menus and menu boards where customers will see it.  Similar policies have passed in New York City, San Francisco, Santa Clara County, King County (Seattle), and Multnomah County (Portland, OR).  Californians deserve similar information.

The restaurant industry will tell you that they want the information in the restaurant, but not on the menu.  That just doesn’t make sense!  As this video shows, information that is not on the menu at the point of decision making is virtually useless for people who want to place their order as quickly and easily as possible:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zD4m6WN3Tlg

We need your support to pass menu labeling in California.  Please send a message today to your Assembly Member and to Governor Schwarzenegger to urge them to pass the California menu labeling bill.
