notice to NYC tyrants
as the all-knowing ruling class in NYC stomps its way through lives, wendy’s reacts with understandable self-interest (AKA unintended consequences). the natural result: legislation has again forced a result opposite of the avowed intent.
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 will of course inspire the tyrants to clamp down yet again, which will lead to more stratification, scrambling to protect selves, and fuckifying of the supposed beneficiary of such altruistic interference. as always, there has ever been only one true answer to tyrants. despite its advice being wholly ignored (nay, vilified), the virginia state seal had it straight.
