Here's another article summarizing the OC article [1].
It summarizes the details without any narrative, and concludes with:
> While he was mostly stone-walled, Galuten was able to confirm this from at least one major producer. A General Mills representative told him that the Progresso Chicken Broth recipe starts with a broth concentrate. Then they add in water and additional ingredients to create what you buy in the store. Or, Galuten, says “just buy literally any box of chicken stock because they are probably all the same.”
Frankly I don't find this as interesting as the original post.
I guess it seems more down to earth and less sterile than presenting the facts in a traditional "journalist" third person way.
Maybe I'm biased because I also write in this style for my own blog, but I frequently see this style used by hobbyists exploring technical topics on the front page of HN. E.g. a random post from the front page right now [2]
