This is a truly marvelous thing!

I remember once at mcdonald’s, I wanted to get their snack wrap which is a piece of fried chicken tender, wrapped in tortilla with lettuce and ranch dressing. The serving is small, that’s why they called it the snack wrap, but I was still curious how many calories were in that teeny tiny thing. So I bravely asked one of the crew members if they had the nutrition information for the things they were serving. Of course they didn’t but I ordered it any way. I still don’t know how many calories are there. The last time I checked it wasn’t on the website.

If hope California follows New York’s lead. This will discourage me from ordering high calorie items masked as healthier alternatives. There will be days when I just gotta have whatever it is that I wanted…like last Sunday when I indulged in a cheese burger with grilled onions and a strawberry shake from in n out. There was an order of fries too but those were eaten by my mom and michelle. I probably consumed 800 calories right there but I didn’t regret every bit of it. =D it was just one of those days.

Gotta love new york for being the first in the country to require all chain restaurants to post the calories along with the price tag. Bravo New York!!!!
