Dear All, I have been NOMAIL for several weeks now but felt inclined to check in. I wanted to share something that happened a few months ago after I posted a recap of the ABC Special with Peter Jennings about Obesity in America. I mentioned in my post that Tommy Thompson seemed unconcerned about the food industry's role in this issue, and I painted him (according to my opinion of seeing him being interviewed) as not such a great choice for the Sec of Health. Shortly after that particular posting to this list I received an off-list email from a fellow Lactnetter who in **defense** of Sec Thompson claimed to know that Tommy Thompson was OWED A FAVOR by President Bush and was consequently appointed Sec of Health. According to this person, he didn't really even want the position. Interesting...?
