Claim Jumper Reveals Nutritional Information

When I heard a friend boasting that he was taking his six year old to her first Claim Jumper experience I was appalled. I knew this could not be good, I asked him if he knew the company did not list nutritional information and I was told “Sorry to say I do not go there for the nutitirional value. But thanks for looking out for us!”.

As much as it killed me, I bit my tongue and let things be. But gladly, the company has finally decided to reveal their magic numbers. And as mean as I may sound, children should NOT be eating at this establishment. Adults should not be eating at this establishment even if they give me food discount coupons. Many of their dishes would put me (a 5’2″, 120 lb woman) over my caloric intake…and that does not even consider the sodium content. Here’s a hint at what your body will encounter when dining at this fine establisment:
