Looks delicious? Feeling the mouth water slightly?
We defend our freedom so strongly, don't we? Our freedom to expression, our rights as a citizen and as a consumer...in fact we all know someone who has blown the lid over smaller issues like "Why can't I use this road??? I pay road tax!" or "Why is Vodafone charging me like crazy?? Call your manager!"
Do we honor others' right even a pinch as ferociously as we defend ours?
Time to do a double-check. You indulge in a McDonald's burger...somewhere in the long inventory, who does it support and who does it hurt?
McDonald’s is the world’s largest user of beef, and of all companies, probably has the most colorful animal rights history.
Remember the McLibel Trial (the longest trial in British history) when McDonald’s sued British activists for exposing McDonald’s practices in the pamphlet: “What’s Wrong with McDonald’s -- Everything They Don’t Want You to Know”.
With all its corporate might, McDonald’s could disprove that McDonald’s junk food does not affect rainforests, heart disease and cancer, or food poisoning and starvation in Third World. Despite all its corporate might McDonald’s could not disprove that it EXPLOITS CHILDREN, FALSELY CLAIMS THAT ITS FOOD IS NUTRITIOUS, is responsible for ANIMAL CRUELTY, and pays its EMPLOYEES LOW WAGES.
Down the line, the Company has seen an ugly chain of exposures from non-vegetarian French fries to factory farming. Personally, I have stopped eating at McDonald’s…and so have many of my friends after they did they did their own research on the McDonald’s eco-system from the US to Bangalore.
As for those who love chicken, I wont talk you out if it. You very well know what you are eating…mutilated birds that were killed under extreme pain. This releases fear hormones in their systems, and the same stuff goes into your bodies. Not to mention, the antibiotics with which these birds were pumped during their short lifespan in factory farms.
And for those who think chicken tastes great, try eating chicken without the herbs and vegetarian spices that make your taste buds crave for chicken.
I’ll be surprised if you make it to your late 30’s without an acquired chronic disease…the least being weak digestion, and the worst being cancer of course.
I can make BETTER BURGERS than McDonald's and sell them @ HALF THE PRICE of what McDonald's charges (also without the plastic bags that McDonald's gives its "educated" consumers)
