Campaign Unavailable

We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit Center for Science in the Public Interest.

The short explanation of this alert was:

Urge your Senators and Representative to cosponsor the Menu Education and Labeling (MEAL) bill which would provide people with clear, easy-to-use nutrition information at fast-food and other chain restaurants.

Eating out is a growing part of the diets of most Americans. Yet, unlike in supermarkets, where most foods are required to have nutrition labels, few restaurants provide nutrition information (with the exception of some chain restaurants that have hard-to-use pamphlets or inconvenient websites). As a result, people may be getting more fat, sodium, and calories than they realize. For example, did you know that a large shake at McDonald’s has 1,010 calories, which is half the calories most people should consume in an entire day?

Ask your Senators and Representative to cosponsor the MEAL bill!
