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.

Stop Eating Fast Food And Start Cooking At Home

  “How could you eat that junk? It’s so bad for you!” (nag, nag). “Don’t you know those fries will give you a heart attack?” (nag, nag). “You have to stop eating all that fast food, it’s going to make you fat!” (nag nag). “You have to eat more healthy food like fruits and vegetables – they’re good for you!” (nag, nag). Your friends nag you, your family nags you, your doctor nags you, the health newsletters, websites and magazines – they all nag you, and of course, your personal trainer nags the heck out of you, to stop eating all those BAD FAST FOODS. But does all that nagging you and bad-mouthing the fast food industry really help anyone stop?

While you may be hearing that fast food is unhealthy all the time, it still may not be enough to make you stop eating fast food. Many people choose this option because it is convenient and fast. Some do not like cooking or do not feel like cooking after working hard all day, so they go with this food choice. There are even some that believe that fast food is a cheaper option as well.

When soft drinks are concerned, we should understand that they are just water with a lot of sugar in it. And drinking too much of soft drinks does not do any good to our body, as well as our health. From the above we should understand that fast food and soft drinks are not really something good for us. Unfortunately, most of us just love this kind of junk food and eating fast food has become a kind of urban lifestyle. This will just mean that we will be taking more calories than we needed and eventually they will be stored as fat!

In fact, there are also snacks which are just like fast food. A lot of people nowadays will take things such as French fries and potato chips as snacks. Again, you will just taking too much fat and calories in this case. They are not something healthy when snacks are concerned.
