New Yorkers are in for a rude awakening.
years ago when I worked nights……….every morning on the way home………..I would stop off at Dunkin Donuts……….and get the usual…………med coffee light and sweet………you know 6 sugars…………and 3 chocolate chip cookies the special………..in my mind I thought it was better to get 3 cookies versus 2 donuts………that was the other speciall………..thought I was saving calories………
We have a new law here in New York…………dont know the specifics…………but any chain resturant meaning more than one or whatever number……………must post the calories on all menus……….including the ones that are on the wall…………so know when you go to Mickey D’s………..you will know exactly how much you are clogging your ateries.
The cookies that I used to eat…………………are 540 calories each………….so 5 days a week I was ingesting an estimated 1750 calories for a snack right before I went to bed………….I was wondered why I couldn’t sleep when I worked nights……….could have been the 750 sugar calories I ate before retiring………
the whole wheat donut comes in at 220 calories………………boston creme beleive or not was only 275……….for 55 Im going boston creme………..

Cool for you, I love dunkin donuts….but then again I’m a coffee freak. But it is sad in a way that the American food industry, would rather make money, before seeing the lives that so many are fighting to save are being squandered, with unhealthy choices. Some people are just not capable of the realizations that ,waht we are being offered is truly bad for us. Wouldn’t it be a great life, if it all didn’t revolve around profit? Maybe someday…someone will be brave enough and smart enough to realize the effects of teaching our children the proper way to eat and not be fooled by the companies who which to make a profit by using cartoons and colorful adds to wreak havoc on the things we teach them.
540 calories each! Wow! lol I’d rather have had a meal! lol
Good for you taking a look to see what the numbers are on your choices. I wish we had something like that here. Right now some places are doing it voluntarily but I kinda wish everyone would do it. That way it would really help those of us who are counting calories and fat grams.
540 calories for a cookie! oh holy cow! That is wow!
I think the calorie counts should be on the wall of every fast food restaurant. Its a wonderful idea. It would probably help with the obesity problem in America.
I used to get the same thing. A medium light and sweet coffee and one chocolate chunk cookie for breakfast though. Then the 2 cheeseburger combo meal from McDonalds… I was wondering why I went up 10 pounds so quickly last fall. Ha, Ha. Those cookies were so sweet sometimes I couldn’t even eat the whole thing. I will say though I still miss those cookies….
