Calorie labels on menus have a small but meaningful impact on people’s choices, review finds https://t.co/rYdDGVnpJx

[The Times and Sunday Times @thetimes]

As a study shows that British beer drinkers prefer a two-thirds pint measure, Rosamund Hall says it would do us good if, down the pub, we were a little more continental https://t.co/uKUVQK9ArP
