American Cancer Society Supports Menu Labeling Bill

From Ascribe Newsfeed:

One in three cancer deaths are caused by poor diet and obesity - a staggering statistic matched only by the number of cancer deaths related to tobacco.

We have seen the positive effects of education and outreach when it comes to tobacco use.

Yet millions of Californians who eat out remain in the dark about the nutritional information of their food.

For this reason, the American Cancer Society strongly supports the reintroduction of Senate Bill 1420, and thanks its co- authors Sens.

This bill would require restaurant chains with 15 or more locations to post nutrition information on menus and menu boards, and would play a crucial role in what must be a multi-pronged effort to combat this preventable disease.

In 2006, the California Department of Health Services created a strategic plan in response to this statewide crisis of obesity.

Among its recommendations: "Post calorie information per serving on all menus and menu boards at restaurants and encourage healthy food options on all menus."

We provide direct, immediate access to mainstream national media for 600 colleges, universities, medical centers, public-policy groups and other leading nonprofit organizations.

AScribe transmits news releases directly to newsroom computer systems and desktops of major media organizations via a supremely trusted channel - The Associated Press.
