Why Listing Calorie Counts on Menus Can Do More Harm Than Good | Eater
"While reporting there, the coconut shrimp entree listed 1,370 calories next to its price, prompting immediate guilt and a persistent internal calculus for the rest of the day; despite the author ultimately ordering the coconut shrimp (which they describe as delicious), nearly every other entree — from sandwiches to salads to a teriyaki chicken bowl — showed similarly high calorie counts, and the only lower option mentioned was a plate of plain fries at 590 calories, leaving the diner feeling forced to choose between satisfaction and an imposed ‘‘healthy’’ number." - Jaya Saxena
