Menu Labeling, Part I: Who, What, When, Where and Why? - on The Food Channel

Backing the health reform bill is a very sound business strategy by the National Restaurant Association as described in this article:
NRA supports the new standardized labeling legislation

"The regional and state-based provisions have varying requirements, making it complicated for chains operating in multiple areas. The National Restaurant Association (NRA), along with many chain restaurants and health advocates, support the new standardized, nationwide menu labeling legislation, in large part because it will pre-empt all other nutrition labeling bills that have passed or are pending. The NRA’s statement on the newly passed legislation emphasizes that this new ruling, as part of the healthcare reform bill, is a “win for consumers and restaurateurs,” as it provides “one consistent national standard that helps consumers make choices that are best for themselves and their families.”
