Op-Doc: The Truth Behind Calorie Labels

[VIDEO] I've got to admit I've become a fan of Casey Neistat. You might know him from an HBO series that you likely never watched or from his YouTube fame. Before he was a serious YouTuber, he was mostly a film maker and what you see above is the type of videos he'd post before he started "vlogging".

Though not a stickler for it, I'm all in favor of insuring that the public, especially young children, begin to develop healthy eating habits. I've never understood how the calorie counts are determined at a number of fast food restaurants around the nation (ex. McDonald's). Well Neistat who made this video for the NY Times back in 2013 takes a look at this issue.

The next question is do you believe these calorie counts are accurate when you order from menus that provide this info?

Running time for the above "op-doc" is slightly less than six minutes.
