I think it would be good for

I think it would be good for most people to know how many calories they are eating so they can plan for the rest of their day's intake. Once you've set food in a McDonald's, it's unlikely you're going to be eating anything there that's good for you. But you're going to eat it anyway, and knowing the dietary information of what you're eating will help guide the rest of your meal choices. If you know you've just eaten more than half your day's calories in a sitting, you're probably going to want to adjust for that at dinner. If you don't know how much you've just eaten, though, you may compound that with a poor food choice later. Sure, being overweight is an obvious sign that you're doing something wrong - but considering the variety of our diets, you can't fault people for not knowing precisely what it is they are doing wrong.
