After New Zealand's <em>National Business Review</em> published a <a href="http://www.nbr.co.nz/search/search_article.asp?id=18493&amp;cid=0&amp;cname=Results">scathing expose</a> of the company's shady business practices, Daniel A. Macuga, Vice President of Network Development and Public Relations for USANA, <a href="http://www.nbr.co.nz/home/column_article.asp?id=18656&amp;cid=4&amp;cname=Business+Today">defended his employer</a> with a passionate letter ... that was soundly and completely rebuked by the paper.</p>
<p>First of all, let's give credit where credit is due. <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2007/03/15/heard-on-the-street-knocks-usana/">USANA</a> did the right thing in sending someone new out to defend the company after Joseph Poulos did such a bad job that I started calling him <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2007/07/18/is-baghdad-bob-working-for-usana-health-sciences/">Salt Lake Sam</a>.</p>
<p>Be sure to read Macuga's letter and the brilliant point by point rebuttal. if you like watching big companies get it handed to them by journalists, you'll love it.</p>
