"We wanted to give people an opportunity to actually see the calories before they purchase the food and make a decision, an informed decision,

“我们希望让消费者能够在知情的情况下做出购物决定。

that if they want to make the healthier choice, if they want to eat fewer calories, they can.

如果他们希望买更健康的食物,想摄入更少的热量,这是可以实现的。And we expect this will have a huge impact on obesity.

我们认为这项规定会对肥胖问题带来很大改善。

And of course, if it has an impact on obesity, it will have an impact on diabetes, and heart disease, and high blood pressure." 当然,如果它能改善肥胖问题,那么它也就会降低糖尿病、心脏病和高血压的患病率。

The new rules were introduced as part of an anti-obesity campaign that also includes a recent citywide ban on artificial trans-fats in restaurant food.
