I look at menu labeling as a consumer right to know issue, plain and simple.  All of the foods at grocery stores are clearly labeled with nutrition facts, informing the consumer.  Restaurants are a loophole in the system.  I simply don't know what I'm getting when I eat out for dinner.  Restaurant food tastes great, but I have no idea what I'm putting in my body. 

In today's busy world, families are eating out of the home more and more, underscoring the importance of making this information available to the consumer.
