Campus Viewpoints:Should menus display nutritional information?

Rianna Esquivel, 18
Psychology major
“Yes. They need to tell you what you are eating because who knows if it can kill you or not.”

Jennifer Godfrey, 18
Aerospace major
“Yes. Restaurant foods are very unhealthy, especially those shakes that are loaded with sugar.”

Robert Rodriguez, 18
Undecided Major
“Yes. Because if you are on a diet, you would need to know what you are eating if it has a lot of calories or not.”

Bobby Karabuva, 26
Business Major
“Yes. You don’t know what you’re putting in your body. People with high blood pressure and diabetes, need to know the salt and sugar contents.”

Laura Lepper, 20
Theater major
“No. Because you go to restaurants to eat and have a good time; who cares about nutritional contents?”

David Dukellis, 24
Theater Major
“No. It shouldn’t be required, but be an option for those who actually care about what they are eating.”

Jennifer Hernandez, 20
Paralegal Major
“Yes. Because food at restaurants contain lots of sodium, sugar and maybe even MSG.”

Rupal Sitao, 19
Nursing Major
“No. It would discourage people from ordering the featured items on a menu. If the best item contained 1,000 calories, even if it is good, it is discouraging to order.”
