Fast food chain to post calorie information on menus

In a move certain to rock the restaurant industry, Yum! Brands, parent company to Taco Bell, KFC and Pizza Hut, on Wednesday will announce plans to begin posting product calorie information on the indoor menu boards nationwide at company-owned restaurants, USA Today reports.

This is a risky move for the chain. I'm skeptically questioning their motive. McDonald's does set the bar rather high in regards to their calorie full-disclosure and low fat options. Is this just an attempt to compete? Or is it in response to consumer demand? Hmmmmmm... Either way I'm happy to hear that more restaurant chains are jumping on board with this trend.
