Do you really want to know?

My homey, Amanda, sent this story to me.

Basically, New York law requires restaurants to put the calorie content on menus and other food displays.

In the story, many said they had sticker shock from looking at how many calories their favorite foods, even ones that are supposed to be healthy, had.

For example, one woman found out the "healthy" (and I am using air quotes) chicken, cheese and walnut salad she loves from T.G.I. Fridays actually has more than 1,300 calories in it.

That Starbucks muffin you love - more than 600 calories.

Don't even get me started on Wendy's and other fast food.

Some folks didn't appreciate getting the sticker shock. What do you think?

Would you like to know how many calories are in the foods you're eating while your out?

Let me hear it, people, give me a shout out in the comments.

Wow.

That will make me think twice about ordering a salad when I'm out.

You'd think these restaurants could get charged false advertising -- since when is 1,300 calories in one portion healthful?
