McMisrepresentation

I posted this on Facebook last week, but I thought it deserved a follow up here. NPR's blog Tell Me More, asks some of the same questions I was asking last week about McDonald's Olympics marketing. It's worth a read because, unlike my post, it has actual information about what Olympians do eat (though this information comes from the Biggest Loser, which is perhaps even more fraught than the Eat Like an Olympian commercials. BTW, did I ever tell you about the brilliant paper a student of mine once wrote about the Biggest Loser, Foucault, and the Panopticon? Seriously made me reconsider the consequences of my actions one sick day when a marathon was running on some deeply-cable channel...)
