Applebee's

Here is an interesting piece of news. A woman in Cincinnati, OH sued both Weight Watchers and Applebee’s for false weight watcher points advertised on Applebee’s menu.

Cincinnati, OH—A Milford woman sued Applebee’s and Weight Watchers for inaccurately stating the amount of fat and calorie counts on the restaurants diet-conscious menu. The woman claims the “Cajun Lime Tilapia” from the Weight Watchers section on the Applebee’s menu had more Weight Watchers “points” and fat then what was advertised on the menu, as reported by Cincinnati.com.

    Interesting. In a way, it explains why Weight Watchers has been so anal retentive about making sure other people don't use their Points without permission. They probably didn't want a situation like this to arrive with unauthorized usage. Maybe they should have paid better attention to the people they were giving permission to use their Points. This certainly makes me doubt other products official branded with WW points.

    So what am I to make of this? Is Ms. Curry a whiner? Are Applebee's and Weight Watchers weasels? Is Weight Watchers allowing Applebee's to post point and the WW logo based upon Applebee's claim of Nutritional Data? Is Weight Watchers negligent in checking those numbers or are they just willing dupes? How did Ms. Curry get the "real" numbers since Applebee's recipes are proprietary information?

    If Applebee's can post faulty (if not outright fraudulent) Weight Watchers Points(c) ™ Values, what's wrong with LaaLoosh.com posting accurate (and not outright fraudulent) Weight Watchers Points(c) ™ Values? Who is harming Weight Watchers good name and the faith of their consumers more? LaaLoosh.com? or Applebee's?

    I leave it to the gentle reader to answer that last question.
