Modifying fast food intake is a sensible target for a society confronted with an obesity epidemic that has far-reaching health and economic consequences. The Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990 led to the ubiquitous labeling of packaged foods. However, the total proportion of food consumed in restaurants has increased steadily since then, and there is a strong, albeit only suggestive, correlation between obesity and patronage of fast food restaurants.
