The Northwestern Health Unit is calling it a great first step to making healthier choices.Yesterday, the provincial government introduced legislation requiring larger eateries and restaurants to post calories on their menus.
The Healthier Choices Act, if passed, would only target restaurants that have 20 or more outlets.
But Northwestern Health Unit Dietician, Chelsea Socholotuk says it can give smaller cafes and restaurants motivation.
Socholotuk says in turn it could prompt restaurants owners to change their recipes to making them healthier.
