Seems like a good idea.

restaurants seem to me a slightly different matter, though: if you are eating at home and you make choices about food based on criteria you think important, then fine--but if you are going out, you usually have less information to go on concerning what you are eating.
I might support legislation that requires information posted about the ingredients on menus, but I wouldn't support legislation restricting what people can eat.
