'Super Size' filmmaker says McDonald's is reacting to him

[Guest guest]

From http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/ae/2434750 (Houston

Chronicle):

 

Take a look at the web site above for news about McDonald's

eliminating their Super Size portions. It was on the CBS and NBC

morning shows Thursday. McDonald's calls it a " menu simplification "

and says it had nothing to do whatsoever with the documentary put out

by filmmaker Morgan Spurlock (they have an official press release at

http://www.mcdonalds.com/usa/news/current/conpr_03022004.html).

However both morning shows showed clips from the documentary " Super

Size Me " along with the announcement, inferring a connection. There

is a little information on the movie, scheduled to be released in

May, at http://movies.go.com/movies/S/supersizeme_2004/.

 

I wonder what could happen if someone did a documentary about raw

foods?

That's an idea, Ron -

 

Any creative people who would like to take that on?? It's likely too late

to enter the Seattle Film Festival this year, but there's always next

year...and these things take time to put together.
