would assume the ingredients have some sort of label on it....but I

guess it would be too much to ask to have her calculate it for me.

Nope totally optional. Even in those cities like NY that have

recently adopted new laws to show the calories up on their marque

menus, its only the larger chains not the local little shops that

must comply at this time.

More likely she cant because she probably never even thought about

anyone asking for it, like it *is* icecream eh? Why would someone be

eating it if one is so concerned about calories or whats in it? ;-)

(and if I was like a nut allergy person who's life depended on it, I

would choose not to eat out)

>What if I was a diabetic and " needed " the info?

If you were a diabetic (and could not get the info) you just wouldnt

be eating it in the first place. Other choices you know, nobody is

shoving it into their mouths creating a medical emergency! ;-)

Btw remember that just because something is sugar free, its not

necessarily fatfree or that much lower in calories.
