Three U.S. fast food chains to take nutrition info off websites

It's quite nice when restaurants give information on the nutritional content (or severe lack thereof) of foods and drinks served in public locations. It's quite another when tat information is available then is pulled from view completely. Why is that?The logical explanation says that many restaurants do not want consumers educated (much like most companies in the food industry). The sheer junk in most foods these days is enough to make anyone sick once enough research is done into what is actually contained in some of the most processed foods. Unless you have no desire at all for nutrition (just taste), the ingredients in some foods are just plain...gross.
Well, with that we have the deletion of calorie and nutrition facts from the websites of some national brands -- like Quiznos, Wendy's and White Castle. These companies have removed nutritional information from some restaurants on their websites. Why? Well, to avoid posting that same information on NYC-are menus, of course.
Bad corporate move here from these three -- and other customers will notice outside of New York City. Although Wendy's is pretty much fast food (read: I won't eat there), some sandwiches at Quiznos actually look pretty healthy. Would I eat there without knowing how many calories I am eating? Slim chance -- you?
