Judge Upholds NYC Law Requiring Calories on Menus & Menu Boards
WASHINGTON—U.S. District Judge Richard J. Holwell today denied a motion filed by chain restaurant lobbyists to block New York City’s requirement that chains disclose calories on menus and menu boards. The court had previously blocked the city from enforcing the regulation, but today found that the city’s redrafted rule put to rest any questions about whether it was preempted by federal nutrition labeling laws. The judge also roundly rejected the industry’s argument that requiring calories on menus somehow violated chain restaurant’s First Amendment rights.

Flu Viruses Take One-Way Ticket out of Asia, Then Travel the World
Seasonal influenza strains constantly evolve in overlapping epidemics in Asia and sweep the rest of the world each year, according to an international research team publishing in the 18 April issue of the journal Science. The findings suggest that by focusing surveillance efforts on East and Southeast Asia, researchers may be able to extend their forecast of the flu strains most likely to cause epidemics, which may in turn help experts decide which strains should go in the flu vaccine each year.
