The number of calories listed on the menu, it does not make diners to eat less. According to them, taste, price and location information is more important than calories from food that they ordered.
The study was conducted in New York, where most restaurants are required to include information on the number of calories in each menu. Then, health policy experts from New York University provides a number of questions on hundreds of children and young people just out of the fast-food restaurant. The respondents are then interviewed about what they have to eat and why they chose to eat at the restaurant. As a result, more than half of respondents said they knew the content of calories they ate from the menu.
But few of them are paying attention. Amounts written calories affects only 16 percent of respondents in choosing the desired menu. The decision taken by several researchers and has published the International Journal of Obesity, indicate the number of calories on the menu only had little effect, even not at all to the taste of people to eat.
