Covid-19 cases are “reaching levels in Los Angeles County not seen since the waning days of the winter surge…. Though L.A. County’s indoor mask mandate remains the most expansive in the state, about 60% of Californians now live in a county that either advised or instructs universal face coverings in places such as grocery stores, retail outlets, movie theaters and at restaurants when not eating or drinking.”

From next week, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) rules will require restaurant chains, movie theaters, supermarkets and other chain outlets to provide calorie counts on their menus. This marks a step forward. “Awareness will almost certainly grow as the calorie listings become ubiquitous. Even better, restaurants appear to respond to such labeling requirements by offering new, lower-calorie options. It took a long time for the era of supersizing to wreak havoc on America’s waistlines; it will take a while for us to educate ourselves to behave differently.”
