:''McDONALD'S TRANS FAT: McDonald's was sued after it announced, with great fanfare and publicity, that it would remove trans fat from its offerings, and then quietly reneged on its promise. McDonald's agreed to make the requested disclosure, and to pay $8 million to settle the law suit.'' <ref>http://banzhaf.net/suefat.html</ref>

At about the same time Banzhaf began his suit, he made an appearance on Morgan Spurlock's documentary about obesity from fast food, ''Super Size Me'' (2004), and Banzhaf is clearly shown in the film eating a large McDonald's hamburger, fries, and drink. <ref>http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0390521/</ref>
