  餐馆菜单也标卡路里 估计没用
  NPR NEWS: Big food retailers in the US have eliminated billions of calories from the packaged foods they sell in supermarkets.
  Now comes a study that finds large U.S. restaurant chains are doing some calorie cutting as well.
  Researchers from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health documented a decline of about 60 calories, on average, in new menu items in 2013, compared with calories in new menu items in 2012. This represents about a 12 percent drop in calories.
