McDonalds Caves To Special Interest Group |
2005-02-11 |
Statement by Center for Science in the Public Interest Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) Executive Director Michael F. Jacobson today released the following statement: "The excellent legal settlement reached between McDonald's and BanTransFats.com and in the class action on the same matter is a perfect example of how litigation can motivate food companies to change their practices for the better. The programs that the American Heart Association will be able to sponsor should accelerate the food industry's movement from partially hydrogenated oils to more healthful natural oils.You would think that a multi-billion dollar company would have better lawyers. |

#3 CSPI is half a dozen radical vegetarians with fax machines. That they get a single second of news coverage is due to the laziness and ignorance of the MSM. |

#2 When McDonald’s announced that it was reformulating its frying oil to contain less trans fat, the company told the public that its fried foods would be healthier. Well, it looks like McDonald's is going to get even less of my business. So far, things I've tried that have been "improved" by lowering the fat level ended up tasting like crap. |

#1 --"Partially hydrogenated oil causes tens of thousands of premature deaths each year -- Is this a bug or a feature? The government wins. |
