Diners in New York City will soon be able to get calorie information on dishes in more restaurants. The big question is, will it make a difference in their eating habits?

Roni Caryn Rabin explores that question in the New York Times' Consumer column this week.

Call me overly optimistic, but I think the nutritional info can make a difference in the fight against obesity. More times than I care to admit, the calorie labels at Dunkin' Donuts have stopped me from getting a chocolate coconut donut.

So what do you think? Will the new calorie labels help?
