Mostly, that would mean national fast-food chains, which frequently post nutritional charts on their Web sites or print it on fliers. New York&#8217;s Board of Health is scheduled to vote on the labeling of calories for menu items proposal in December.The regulation would take effect in July if it&#8217;s approved.<\/p><!--CusAds-->\n<!--CusAds--><p>What do you think?
