STOP going to McDonalds RIGHT NOW!

It is about McDonald’s, as a corporation, refusing to remain neutral in the culture wars. McDonald’s has chosen not to remain neutral but to give the full weight of their corporation to promoting the homosexual agenda, including homosexual marriage.

After watching the documentary Super-Size Me, I stopped eating at McDonald's; mostly because of health reasons but also because I no longer wanted to contribute to a company that causes that kind of damage to people, especially me. I find it kind of like paying your enemy to hurt you. Now as if that were not enough, McDonald's has actually found another reason for me, and many others around the world, to stop eating their food and sponsoring their destruction machine. According to Greenpeace forests campaign co-ordinator, Gavin Edwards, "Fast food giants like McDonald's are trashing the Amazon for cheap meat. Every time you buy a Chicken McNugget you could be taking a bite out of the Amazon." (1)

So what exactly is McDonald's being accused of? Greenpeace, using some mission impossible-style spying techniques, including satellite images, aerial surveillance, previously unreleased government documents and on-the-ground monitoring, says that they have been able to trace the animal feed used for McDonald's chickens to land that was once rainforest.(1)

"Three U.S. commodities giants, Archer Daniels Midland, Bunge and Cargill, which control most of Europe's soya market, are fueling the rainforest destruction to grow feed for animals in Europe," Greenpeace said today.(1) You guys remember ADM and Cargill right? They are two of the three company's who have recently been accused of using slave child labor by the International Labor Rights Funds. It should not come as such a shock to me but it does. I cannot believe that there are companies out there that care so little about life and so much about profits that they condone this type of action. Actually what surprises me more is that we are the ones that help them make such ridiculous profits.

According to Greenpeace, "Cargill has illegally built its own port in the heart of the Amazon, from which it exports the soya to the Cargill terminal in Liverpool, UK. From there, the soya goes to Cargill-owned food producer, Sun Valley, which feeds the soya to the chickens it uses to make McNuggets, which it distributes to McDonald's restaurants across Europe." (1) McDonald's has not denied that its chicken are fed on Amazon Soya even though Greenpeace has asked them to account for their feed three months ago.

Making the Twitter rounds on a super-sized scale over the weekend (under the hashtag of #seriouslymcdonalds) was this obviously fake sign that’s allegedly in a McDonald’s restaurant. It claims that “African-American customers are now required to pay an additional fee of $1.50 per transaction.” The picture originated on twitpic and has gone viral from there.

A tipoff that this is a fake? We called that 800 number you see at the bottom of the sign, and it connected to the KFC Customer Satisfaction Hotline. But really, think about it: Would any McDonald’s franchisee or employee tape such a sign on the door of a McDonald’s restaurant? It would be career suicide.
