I'm really, really excited about the upcoming car show I'll be joining this coming Sunday, but my spirits were dampen when I saw this episode on the Today show that reported that certain restaurants are planning to put in their menus how many calories are there in a dish. My initial reaction was, what were they thinking?
After that, 10 second-shock, I realized a reason, which I don't find sensible. Maybe the move is for those who are weight-conscious. Thing is, all of us are conscious when it comes to our health, especially with the proliferation of weight-loss shows and with the latest winner from the Biggest Loser, it brings a stronger message to make ourselves fit. But, the calorie count in the menus I feel is frustrating and somehow irritating. I go out every other day with my friends for a nice dinner and this is where we really eat to our hearts' delight after a day's grueling work, and if I see a calorie count next to my favorite well-done lambchops and stone crab, it'll spoil everything.
But again, that's just me.
