Another major city is trying to introduce a new ‘eating healthier’ food regulation for restaurants.  Good grief, spare us from the food police.  Sure, it’s true we have an obesity problem in this country but for heaven’s sake don’t go regulating everything we eat. 

     When we go out to dinner, an extremely rare event, I want what I want for my meal.  I don’t care if it’s high in fat.  I’m dining out to enjoy myself, to consume something I don’t make at home, and not have to cook.

     I’d say that out of the 365 days in a year we go out for dinner maybe ten times.  This year, I’m not so sure we made it out anywhere near that many times.  So please don’t tell me I shouldn’t eat that luscious cheesecake they have on the menu or indulge in that butter heavy sauce I never make at home.  Don’t tell me not to have a medium rare steak, if I want one I’ll have it.  Dining out is supposed to be a pleasure. 

     What would make my dining experience more pleasurable?  That’s a whole other post…
