Nutrition debate lands on Montgomery’s menu

Restaurant industry advocates say a Montgomery County proposal that would require chain restaurants to include nutritional information on menus won’t do much to solve obesity issues, but backers of the measure say consumers need all the nutritional help they can get.

Council Member George Leventhal introduced legislation in July that would mandate restaurants with more than 10 locations nationwide to list the calories, grams of saturated fat and sodium content of food items on their menus or menu boards.
