Do labels make a difference?


Just read an article about how food labels on restaurant menus are helping people make better food choices when they eat out.
While I appreciate that labels can help people make good choices, all they do is make me feel guilty. This is especially true about fast food restaurants.
This is a good thing though. Anytime people have more information at their disposal is a good thing. The survey used in the article said that findings revealed a significant reduction in calorie intake at four chains including McDonald's, Au Bon Pain, KFC, and Starbucks. I've never heard of Au Bon Pain but I do enjoy a meal at the other three from time to time.
Just wondering if any of you out there use the nutrition facts on menus when you eat out at places like this?
