New NY law: show me the calories.

I just saw this (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25464987/) and while I
think that having a law that requires shops to show the calories that
are in foods is a step in the right direction, but personally I'd
rather they have to list out what ingedients are in their foods and
how much. I would figure that would be more benefitical to all and
easier for the people who make the food to do this than have to
calculate a calorie count (which is probably very uneven item to
item). I think I'd be far more turned off eating something bad for me
that showed how much sugar/salt/fat i'm inducing instead of calories.
