2012 Will be the Year of the Calorie « Real Life Nutrition, Jan 09, 2012

"I predict that 2012 is going to be the year of the calorie. Now that the intense fat phobic era is over and we’ve gotten past the nearly obsessive phase of carb-counting, the spotlight will fall back on calories.
Calories are showing up on all sorts of new places. In 2012, fresh meats will now be required to list calories and other nutrients when mandatory nutrition labeling hits the meat case in March. Throughout the rest of the grocery store, we’re seeing calories called out on the front of package labels. And we’re seeing more calorie counts when we go out to eat. Calories are now highlighted on restaurant menus in chain restaurants (with mixed results, although a new Stanford Graduate School of Business study did find that calorie listings in New York City Starbucks resulted in a 6% reduction in calories per transaction)."
