Wendy's Disclaimer ...

I happen to have a bit too much time on my hands today.

So, I saw an Wendy's ad on the bottom of the page and figured "hey, maybe I'll click on it ... maybe it'll mean and extra 2 cents to the RF coffers."

So, I clicked.

First thing I see is this notice to NYC Wendy's customers:

Special notice to inquiries originating from New York City:

We regret that Wendy's cannot provide product calorie information to residents or customers in New York City. The New York City Department of Health passed a regulation requiring restaurants that already provide calorie information to post product calories on their menu boards -- using the same type size as the product listing.

We fully support the intent of this regulation; however, since most of our food is made-to-order, there isn't enough room on our existing menu boards to comply with the regulation. We have for years provided complete nutritional information on posters inside the restaurant and on our website. To continue to provide caloric information to residents and customers of our New York City restaurants on our website and on our nutritional posters would subject us to this regulation. As a result, we will no longer provide caloric information to residents and customers of our New York City restaurants.

We regret this inconvenience. If you have questions about this regulation, please contact the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and refer to Health Code Section 81.50.

This belongs in the WTF thread that is now running again. Chow JIm

Funny.

Just another example of the government thinking they are doing the right thing without looking at the consequences.

"We regret this inconvenience. If you have questions about this regulation, please contact the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and refer to Health Code Section 81.50. Bitch at them, not us."

After NBC-TV's flagship station WNBC made a laughing stock out of the NYC Department of Health with their footage of the rats in the KFC/Taco Bell, there has been a civil war between the NYC Health Department and the restauranteurs in this town.

To my "Landsman": If you want nuitrition information, tell them you live in Yonkers, NY!
