NEW YORK (AP) - A restaurant trade group asked a court Friday to outlaw a new city regulation that would require some eateries to list calorie counts on their menu boards right next to the price.
The New York State Restaurant Association filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, asking that the rule be declared unconstitutional and that it be awarded unspecified damages.
The association said the rule would apply only to a small group of restaurants — effectively punishing those that have made efforts to tell the public the nutritional facts about food on their menus.
