Thanks, but no thanks

Today I went to IHOP to go eat breakfast with my mom. We were seated and given the menu, and then I saw it...IHOP places the calories of each item next to the description. I thought this was an ingenious idea, especially everyone watching their calorie intake. As I continued looking through the menu I saw a problem, I was conscious of the calories and was having a difficult time making up my mind. I really went in with the intention of getting a mushroom and spinach omelette; it ranged between 980-1800 calories, which is half or all of your recommended daily caloric intake. The best item on the menu? was of course the pancakes, excluding their new your cheesecake pancakes (1270 calories). I however don't really like IHOP, but had no say in the matter. I am curious to know how others feel about this.

So IHOP I applaud you on your efforts towards a healthy America, but I think it would be a good idea to make your selections healthier, before you divulge their calorie count.
