McDonald's Evil Empire

I have decided to stop eating at McDonald's restaurants as of today. I made this decision not because I find their food foul tasting or lacking in nutritious value, but because of a lawsuit they filed in Italy against a food critic.

They claim that this critic defamed them maliciously and in a purposefully inflammatory manner by claiming that their burgers taste like rubber and their fries like cardboard.

To me, this is a mega corporation trying to use its size and clout to suppress freedom. I, and anybody else, should be able to say whatever my opinion is of McDonald's food without fear of reprisal. Period.

Therefore, I can no longer support the McDonald's Corporation with my business.

Read "Fast Food Nation" by Eric Schlosser. You'll want to eat there even less. I have it, if you want to borrow it.

McDonald's sucks ass! I ate there until I became such a fat ass that I couldn't stand it anymore. They are sooo wrong by putting all those calories into that little bit of food! I am sooo opposed!

they will burn.

the day will come

Personally, I enjoy McDonald's. I completely comprehend that their foodstuffs are high in fat content and such, but so are many others, and McDonald's food can be part of a healthy life-style. Additionally, I felt that Italian who defamed McDonald's deserved to be sued. He is discriminating a corporation, and in breach of the law (defamation). Enjoy McDonald's, it was created for convenience and satisfaction.
