Why another mom quality correspondent for McD's

Last week I found out about McDonald's "Moms Quality Correspondents" - six women who will give McDonald's feedback about the quality of its product. Alas, I missed the deadline for applying to be one of the lucky six, and also didn't quite meet all the eligibility requirements (one of which is eating at McDonald's).

But I realized that this could be a great opportunity to be a part of a dialogue about a few issues I really care about including:

1. How fast food companies market their products to children
2. The story behind all those happy meal toys
3. The story behind the meat eggs and other food products McDonald's uses.

So, I appointed myself the seventh McDonald's Quality Correspondent. Like the other six, I will receive no pay for my services, and will take the next three months to write about these issues. I will also be commenting on the information the other six correspondents share as they "journal" about their experiences as insiders at McDonald's.
