I was so glad to hear Mitch Greenlick's voice of moderation on this issue. I feel like both your guests are on extreme ends of the regulation issue. I disagree that people who go to McDonald's don't want calorie information, and also that portion size should be regulated. Give people the information on what they're ordering (calorie count only, as the state bill asks), and then let them make an individual choice.

Bottom line: without the information, it's not possible to make an educated individual choice.
