美國國家公共廣播電臺:在美國超市里售賣的食品,外包裝上都會清楚地標明卡路里,而近來一項調查顯示,當地很多連鎖餐館也開始行動起來,幫助人們減少卡路里的攝入.
NPR NEWS: Big food retailers in the US have eliminated billions of calories from the packaged foods they sell in supermarkets.
Now comes a study that finds large U.S. restaurant chains are doing some calorie cutting as well.
Researchers from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health documented a decline of about 60 calories, on average, in new menu items in 2013, compared with calories in new menu items in 2012. This represents about a 12 percent drop in calories.
It's been about six years since the city of New York started a campaign called "Read 'em before you eat 'em", urging New Yorkers to take note of calories posted on menus. Consumers say they welcome the campaign.
