As a child growing up in Arkansas, Ray Drenner had a pet raccoon named Rebel. Drenner and Rebel spent most of their time together, fording streams, catching crayfish and learning about the ecosystems of the creeks and streams of Arkansas.

Rebel, Drenner explained, had imprinted on him; the animal thought the boy was his parent. It appears, however, that the animal may have imprinted something even more enduring on the man.

Panera Bread's decision to list calorie information beside items on its menu boards creates advantages to both the company and consumers. According to Linn Parrish, vice president of public relations for Panera, the decision to add calorie information originated from a 2008 mandate in New York City. By expanding the original decree beyond New York City, Panera sets an example of transparency by willingly sharing calorie information with its customers without them having to look up the information online.

The Panera Bread on South University Drive will start posting item calorie counts on its menu boards today.

Linn Parrish, vice president of public relations, said Panera Bread is the first national restaurant chain to voluntarily post calorie counts on its menus across the nation. The motivation for publishing calorie counts initially came from the 2008 mandate in New York City for all restaurants to disclose the information. She said she thought other restaurants may make the same move toward transparency either voluntarily or by federal mandate.
