I really like that California has calorie counts on just about everything at fast food or chain restaurants. I mentioned that to friends when I moved here and most of them hadn't even noticed it. For me, it is a really good mental trainer. I have trouble mentally justifying something that is over X amount of calories when I have worked so hard over the years to drop weight. I am sure most people that go to Starbucks, for example, have no real idea of the calorie count in the frappe or any of those sliced cakes. I can't even eat anything at most chain restaurants because the calorie counts on even their most basic dishes are often nearly my entire daily allowance. I wonder how many people pic up those nutritional guides that are on tables and actually read them.
