People eat out a lot,
:46:07
and so if there aren't healthy
foods available at restaurants,

:46:10
and there isn't
good nutrition information,

:46:12
it makes eating out difficult.
:46:14
McDonald's says
nutrition information

:46:16
for all their products
is available on-line,

:46:18
but according
to the 2000 U.S. census,

:46:20
more than half of all U.S. homes
:46:22
still don't have
internet access.

:46:23
So, what are these people
supposed to do?

:46:25
Go to the stores
for nutrition information?

:46:27
Is that information even there?
:46:29
I went to find out.
:46:34
Do you guys have any
of the nutrition fact sheets?

:46:36
Do you guys have one of those?
:46:38
The things that fold out and
have the nutrition info in them?

:46:46
There aren't
any over there?

:46:48
Where would they be?
Up front?

:46:50
But they got lots of info
about "Dora the explorer live!"

:46:52
Let me check in the back.
:46:54
That's cool.
Thank you.

:47:00
Just give me one second.
I can't find the booklet.

:47:02
You can use the one
right there on the wall.

:47:04
But you don't have ones
you can take with you?

:47:05
No.
:47:06
Do you guys have
one on the wall?

:47:08
They only have fliers now.
:47:09
We had one before.
They don't put it up no more.

:47:12
Why not?
:47:13
I don't know.
:47:14
Only half the McDonald's in
Manhattan had the nutrition info

:47:17
posted on the wall,
:47:18
some had
the takeaway nutrition charts,

:47:20
and one in four
had no information whatsoever.

:47:24
This nice manager brought me
the nutrition wall chart --

:47:26
from the basement.
:47:27
You don't have one
that I could take with me,

:47:29
like a takeaway?
:47:31
Do you know when you'll have
some of the paper ones again?

:47:34
No.
:47:35
John Banzhaf and I looked
all over this McDonald's

:47:38
in Washington
for any nutritional information,

:47:40
and then we found it.
:47:42
Behind here --
you'd never see it.

:47:44
It's right back there.
:47:45
You can't argue
:47:47
that people should exercise
personal responsibility

:47:50
and then not give them
the information

:47:52
on which to base it.
:47:54
I got my chicken group.
:47:55
There's no chicken group.
:47:56
That's my cholesterol group.
:47:58
It's protein.
:47:59
I got my protein group.
