The new healthcare reform bill makes it mandatory for many more restaurant to publicly disclose their nutritional information. More can be found here http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2010/03/22/menu-measure-health...

It is also interesting to note that while the law will not likely go into effect for another 3-4 years, many restaurant chains are "getting out in front" of the legislation, and are beginning to offer nutritional content info on their websites even before they are required to do so.

As of now we work with local restaurants here in Atlanta and do a statistical nutritional analysis for them. Tin Drum in our featured restaurants is an example of that. In fact we are about to deploy a kiosk / ipad version of our app in the Tin Drum premises where it will be used as a health-based digital menu.
