Should restaurants be required to list calories and fat grams on their menus?

Such an idea is nothing more than yet another example of our silly government’s attempts to control every aspect of our lives, including the way we think.

Forcing restaurants to supply this information on menus would only increase costs in the production of those menus which, in turn would be passed on to every customer.

Of course, government doesn’t want us to be intelligent enough to think for ourselves, to get off our chairs and go and ask the chef what is in the food. That would smack of an independence of spirit and consciousness which comes dangerously close to enabling our country to be reckoned with.

No, if we are spoon-fed every little piece of information truth and lies together the powers-that-be no doubt hope that we will be unable to tell the difference, either in the content of food or in any other of the drivel we are expected to assimilate. Then they can sell our country down whichever European river makes them the most profit. It’s not Americanisation. Even the Yanks aren’t that stupid. It is pseudo-Americanisation, which our so-called senior politicians are using in their usual discreditable way.
