I can just picture it... airlines putting calorie info on a little card that's handed out to passengers before meal service:
"Dear passenger, today we are please to provide you with three entree choices.
chicken with cream sauce(1200 kcal)
beef with grilled vegetables(1500 kcal)
fish with butter sauce on rice(1700 kcal)
For dessert, we have a special Bavarian choclate cream-filled cake(2100)......"
I'm sure many passengers will "opt-out" and the airlines will now have to load fewer meals.(saving them money)
