Restaurants may be forced to use 'traffic light' labels on menus

Good idea. Bad implementation.

"Restaurants could be forced to introduce a 'traffic light' labelling system on menus to help curb rising levels of obesity, it was revealed to The Independent on Sunday last night. Diners could be faced with green, amber and red circles to guide them to the healthiest dishes on the menu.

A green circle would show food is safe and advisable to eat, while amber foods should be eaten in moderation. The unhealthiest food would carry a red circle warning of high fat, sugar and salt content and eaten only occasionally."

Since there are no "healthy" foods, the implementation is bad.

All there are, are Calories.

Better just to put a STOP sign on the door for fat people.

Or simply narrow the doorway to prevent ingress.
