Calorie labeling, in effect, puts the onus of weight reduction on consumers, but consumers have not grown fat because they have stopped paying attention to what they eat; they have grown fat because processed food has become cheaper (both in terms of money and time), whereas fresh food has become more expensive.
Massachusetts has just passed nutrition guidelines regarding foods sold in school vending machines and concession stands. They now have to have less than 35% of their calories from fat, less than 20% from saturated fat, and less than 30% from sugars. No sugary drinks and nothing fried.
