exiledfan Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 (edited) I'm turning into a grumpy old man. I hate this new law that restaurants that if they have more than 250 employees you need to display the calories on a menu (why eating in a place with more than 250 employees makes you fatter I don't know) . I'm sure it's another excuse to give you less food for the restaurant to lower portions at same price and beside that when your eating out do you really want to know your eating like a pig? This can't be good for folk with eating disorders as well. Edited May 9, 2022 by exiledfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

portmahomack saint Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 Must be some size of restaurant with 250 employees how many tables 4000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rascal Posted May 10, 2022 Report Share Posted May 10, 2022 Nothing wrong with smaller portions. Collectively we eat too much and too much of the wrong things. Improve the quality and make it taste better and be better for us. Imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted May 10, 2022 Report Share Posted May 10, 2022 Calories on menus, FFS! Do we REALLY need this level of information? If you're eating out a few times, at most, a week, you surely have an idea what's going to make you fatter? If you only eat out every few weeks or more then it's hardly an issue. Another case of nanny state, gies piece. (with low calorie butter and lettuce please) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another case of nanny state, gies piece. (with low calorie butter and lettuce please) It's not the lack of a calorie count that bothers me, it's the lack of a list of ingredients. You order something then when it's brought out, the chef has decided to "tart it up" with something disgusting (like mushrooms, IMO) which isn't in the description.

Or now an excuse to offer a steak and 6 chips done Jenga style at 600 calories with a mushroom and half tomato. Then they charge extra for more veg and sides on additional calories and cost.

antrin Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 And there was me thinking, “Mushrooms… They’re chambers in buildings for evil pixies.” When all the time, mushrooms were furniture…? Everyday a schoold…. lunatic asylum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rascal Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 Maybe it’s an age thing but I don’t like plates overflowing with food. Give me smaller portions of well cooked and well presented food and I will enjoy it. Still enjoy a bacon roll though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
