June 7/Toronto, Ontario/States News Service -- Following on the heels of U.S. action, Ontario is pursuing menu labeling legislation that would require restaurants to post calorie counts of their menu items, the Toronto Sun reports.
"Calorie labeling is something our government has been considering for quite some time now," said Ontario Health Promotion minister Margaret Best. "We have been exploring the option of legislating, and we want to continue to look into it. It's certainly something we see merit in."
