Other tactics involve incorporating boxes, placing expensive dishes in the top right corner, using detailed descriptions (which increase the perceived value and price), and considering the pricing format (whole dollar vs. cents). These strategies manipulate diners' emotions and visual attention to entice them into ordering more expensive items.

Calorie-counting menus linked to reduced cancer deaths and healthcare costs.

Calorie counts on restaurant menus have prevented at least 28,000 cancer cases linked to obesity and 16,700 cancer deaths over a lifetime, while saving $2.8 billion in health care and societal costs, according to a study by Tufts University. Dining in restaurants accounts for one in five calories consumed by American adults, and 40% of new cancer diagnoses are said to be obesity-related. Critics have slammed the calorie count initiative, claiming it fuels eating disorders and diet culture.
