The new law, signed Tuesday, requires any restaurant with 20 or more locations to post calorie information next to the menu item (on the lit menu boards). "The law requires chains with 20 or more locations -- more than 17,000 restaurants statewide -- to post the information by 2011. Starting in July, restaurants and drive-throughs will have to offer menus that provide information on the calories, saturated fat, carbohydrates and sodium in each item... Schwarzenegger said the legislation was part of the state's push to set a national model for nutrition policy and to fight obesity, which costs the state $28.6 billion in health-care costs, lost productivity and workers' compensation.
