It's Tea Time

EDIT: For those of you searching for the amount of calories in a blueberry muffin (of which there are many): 510 calories for a Dunkin' Donuts blueberry muffin. Here is the direct link to the info on the Dunkin' Donuts site: Muffin Time

NYC mandatory calorie counts on fast food menus going into effect.

The new rule is already providing food for thought for frequenters of fast food joints, including a Telegraph correspondent who was distressed to discover that a morning blueberry muffin from Dunkin' Donuts contained 470 calories (now 510) - more than twice as many as a chocolate-covered éclair.

I know the above information is going to make someone I know think twice about muffins.

The whole thing is ridiculous in my eyes. I saw Chipoltes Mexican Grill caloric ranges that were 420-950 on the same meal! It's based on the particular ingredients you have or don't have on the meal of course, but your guess is as good as mine as to which ingredients those are. And don't be so quick to judge what's what when it comes to caloric intake, because:

...there was no sign of any such listing in McDonald's visited by the Telegraph in downtown Manhattan last week.

Asked about the calorie information, a server looked blank but then went to fetch her manager who pulled out a detailed "nutrition chart" from beneath the counter. This revealed that a bacon, egg and cheese McGriddle clocked in at 420 calories, making it a healthier breakfast option than the blueberry muffin, by this criterion at least.

I hate the "by this criterion at least" they throw in there. F u McDonalds you fat people making scum bags! Oh wait...OK maybe it was the blueberry muffins at Dunkin Donuts, sorry McDonalds. Whatever, this whole calorie counting movement pisses me off. For most of you who are fat, your problem is you eat to damn much. For those of you with medical problems that cause you to be obese, I feel for you truly. The rest of you are just assholes. Assholes who have now forced people to do math before they eat meals so they can feel good about themselves, all because you can control your eating behaviors about as well as a food obsessed dog. The starving people of the world must really be praying we just sink into the sea (separate from Canada and Mexico of course).
