> In the 80s and 90s they used to sell little paperback books that contained all the calorie information for all the popular chains in the US.

How well did that work?

Today more than a third of Americans are obese.

It worked well for the people that cared to use the information.

A third of Americans are obese. You know what will fix that? A pill that reverses obesity. Invent that and I promise you every obese person will take it. Nobody likes being fat. Until that day, all these other "solutions" are just authoritarian feel-good nonsense.
