Dr. Jay’s Blog

Dear readers,

I didn’t provided a direct e-mail address here because I was worried that I would be inundated with e-mail questions rather than posts that could be viewed by others for educational purposes.  

For those who want to contact me directly for other purposes such as invitations to speak, research collaborations, etc., all you have to do is post a comment and indicate in it why you are seeking my e-mail address and I will reply directly to you. If you don’t want your comment posted here, please state that clearly in your note, otherwise I will post it with my reply.

I also want to extend an apology to the other Jay Wortman, the Oracle consultant in Belgium, who has been kind enough to forward me the inquiries that found their way into his inbox.

Dear readers,

My Big Fat Diet is going to be shown again on CBC Newsworld’s “The Lens” on January 6, 2009. For broadcast times, check your local listings. 

By way of update, the show won a Silver Chris award at the Columbus Film Festival and was shown at the Native American Film Festival in San Francisco. So far there has not been an American broadcast although a number of dvd copies have been purchased from Mary’s website by Americans (www.mybigfatdiet.net). I expect it is just a matter of time before an American broadcaster picks it up.

Happy New Year to everyone!

Dr. Jay

Let’s start posting on a new thread so everyone doesn’t have to scroll all the way down the old one. 

I would also like to inform everyone that there will be periods from time to time during which I won’t be replying to posts. This is because my travels sometimes take me into areas where internet connectivity is not available or difficult. I usually get this caught up fairly quickly when I return.

If you missed seeing it the first time, contact the CBC and let them know you would like the documentary to be re-broadcast. I am sure they will respond if enough people ask. You can make your request by filling out the web form at: http://www.cbc.ca/contact/
