We examined the influence of menu calorie labels on fast food choices in the wake of New York City's labeling mandate. Receipts and survey responses were collected from 1,156 adults at fast-food restaurants in low-income, minority New York communities. These were compared to a sample in Newark, New Jersey, a city that had not introduced menu labeling. We found that 27.7 percent who saw calorie labeling in New York said the information influenced their choices. However, we did not detect a change in calories purchased after the introduction of calorie labeling. We encourage more research on menu labeling and greater attention to evaluating and implementing other obesity-related policies.
我们研究了纽约市实施标签规定后，菜单卡路里标签对快餐选择的影响。在低收入、少数民族聚居的纽约社区的快餐店收集了 1156 名成年人的收据和调查回复，并与新泽西州纽瓦克市的一个样本进行了比较，纽瓦克市尚未推出菜单标签。我们发现，在纽约看到卡路里标签的人中，有 27.7%的人表示信息影响了他们的选择。然而，在引入卡路里标签后，我们没有发现购买的卡路里数量发生变化。我们鼓励对菜单标签进行更多的研究，并更加关注评估和实施其他与肥胖相关的政策。
