I E-mailed The Writer On The Mcdonald's Trans Fat Article

[jkmunchkin]

I wanted let everyone know that I e-mailed the writer of the article that was released yesterday regarding McDonald's fries and that the trans fat was now being reported higher than before. I let him know that there was infact a larger issue to this story... which ofcourse we all know very well by now!

Anywhoo, he responded back to me basically saying that he will keep it in mind and to please give him a heads up if myself or anyone else decides to file a lawsuit. (Which I thought was interesting since nothing in my e-mail said anything about a potential lawsuit).

Anyway not the greatest response, but atleast he responded.

As a former newspaper and wire service reporter, to me this means he isn't interested unless somebody files a lawsuit. And even then it would have to be a really big deal lawsuit.

Yeah I realize that. That's why I said it wasn't the greatest response, but atleast it was nice that he responded.

David contacted me this morning and he is now doing an article on this! I'll post as soon as we see the article.

He already replied on the original McD's fries thread. He also gave us the text of his article. He was hoping that the printed edition of the WSJ would pick it up, which I see today that it did. Congratulations of getting him to notice us. He signed in as a member to let us know.

Thank goodness -- it's nice to know that truth is just as important as a lawsuit . . . . .
