I don't know how many of you are following this, but for those who aren't you may want to re-consider choosing Applebee's as your healthy food option.

I know I felt personally betrayed when this lawsuit came about a year or two ago:

It is still unsettled so far.

Basically, the woman alleged that the menu options marked "Weight Watchers" on the Applebee's menu have grossly understated calorie counts.

The menu options were then brought to a lab, where it was determined that the lady was right, and sometimes by more than 200 calories the menu items were misrepresented.

Would I sue a restaurant if I found out they were lying about the calories in my food?

Probably not.

Would I ever eat there again?

Probably not.

To me, Applebee's (and Weight Watchers, which has also been dragged into this) violated my trust when they did this. Now, I didn't trust Applebee's as "healthy" food that much to begin with, but blatantly lying about something on your menu is not cool.

Applebee's has remained pretty hush-hush about the suit, as well as Weight Watchers, only commenting that the lawsuit does not have much merit, even though lab technicians confirmed the calorie labeling was incorrect.

I don't know if my relationship with Applebee's ended with this, or with the night Jon and I went there for dinner and I found two separate hairs in two separate dishes during the same meal.

What do you think?

Did Applebee's violate your trust? Will YOU continue to eat there?
