Moms Check On McDonald's

Mediapost: With the childhood obesity issue and food marketing back in the headlines, McDonald's is launching a summer PR effort it says is in response to consumer rather than political pressure. Six moms will serve as embedded citizen reporters, covering the company from the inside.

McDonald's cites a March survey by GfK Roper Custom Research showing that nearly 90% of moms believe it's important that fast-food restaurants provide more information about the food they serve.

The six moms--of different ethnicities and from disparate parts of the country--will report to the outside world via blog and video on a McDonald's Web site for the next few months. They will be getting an insider's "Willy Wonka" view of the Oak Ridge, IL-based company, and how it chooses, prepares, and distributes food.

Through the Moms' Quality Correspondents program, the women will meet McDonald's nutritionists, chefs, ingredient suppliers, executives and others.
