Dinosaur Bones....

[Guest guest]

,

That one made me laugh out loud. I remember a few years back when

everything was trying to be labeled as " Free " (like Fat Free,

Cholestrol Free, Clear.... Clear Pepsi.... who remembers that

flop?) It was like they were labeling things to be " FREE " of stuff

they wouldn't normally contain anyway.

It was driving me nuts..... During that time, we were shopping for

a new couch and trying to decide on one.... We were at the

furniture store and my hubby and I were debating on which one to

choose.... Then, I said, I like that one b/c it's cholestrol

free.... I'm sure it is even labeled that way. We were just

cracking up and being SILLY (the number one trait of our SillyYak

mantra, right?)

that Post's products are probably GF, but due to our

ridiculous " grab your lawyer " mentality they won't even say it!

Think about it this way - if Post and Mc's kept up the GF

labeling then in 20 years or so everyone from the " sue Mc's

bandwagon " a week ago would sue them in a similar fashion to the way

the cigarette companies are being sued. So, from the standpoint of

a Mickey D's exec - would you rather lose a few weird, vocal wheat

hating customers (us) or keep them and risk losing millions due to

potential future lawsuits?

mouse droppings, dinosaur bones, *.*, etc. " just to reduce future

potential liability.

reasons. Number one they had the nerve to tell us that the french

fries were GF when it looks like all along they never did look into

it, they obviously do not understand the reality that our kids

cannot eat any amount of gluten safely, but further more instead of

doing the testing they are now stating that the french fries have

not changed so if you could eat them yesterday then today is fine.

And all of that is high on my list but then they sneak around to

change their website instead of doing the testing first and do not

tell us so we cannot make an informed decision. The way they

handled informing us is something that has totally shaken my trust

in them. If it was an honest mistake that all this time they

thought their french fries contained gluten then just let us know

they have to do testing. But it was the very fact they labeled them

GF that I thought I was making an informed decision. So no matter

cannot do better customer care than that!
