Guest guest Posted May 4, 2001 Report Share Posted May 4, 2001 May universal ahimsa prevail everywhere and this suit be victorious HARISH BHARTI CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT SEATTLE (Reuters)* - A vegetarian lawyer is suing McDonald's Corp. for millions saying the fast food company is secretly lacing its french fries with beef fat. Citing an e-mail in which the Oak Brook, Illinois company discloses its suppliers use beef flavoring, the suit charges McDonald's with fraudulent claims for saying its fries have been cooked in pure vegetable oil. "We will seek injunctive relief to stop this practice ... and we are seeking damages, including punitive damages, that will easily be in the hundreds of millions of dollars," said Harish Bharti, who filed the class action suit in King County Superior Court on Tuesday. Bharti, an Indian native who avoids meat in adherence to his Hindu religion, said he filed the suit on behalf of the million or so Hindus in the United States and 15 million vegetarians who may have unknowingly eaten meat products. "McDonald's didn't have any right to deceive people this way," Bharti said. 3 fast food boycotts Of 1 billion or more Hindus, 700 million abstain from cow flesh and 300 million are total vegetarians. http://www.hindu.org http://www.mcspotlight.org http://www.murderking.com Wendy's as a multinational based in one of the minority of states which execute is being boycotted until executions in Ohio stop Governor.Taft http://www.otse.org http://www.state.oh.us http://www.wendys.com http://www.abolition2000.org http://www.madcowboy.com http://www.ivu.org http://www.pcrm.org http://www.notmilk.com The cattle industry is considered environmentally destructive because trees are cut down so that cows may be raised.
