McDonald's is a good example

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

 

McDonald's posting a loss is a good example of a topic that veg*ns may be

interested in discussing even though it is not veg*n or AR related. That's

why we have in the new online forum a category for " General Discussions and

Debate " .

 

You can reach the new online forum at:

http://www.generationv.org/forum

 

Please note - the online forum is a separate entity from , and

you'll need to register before posting. Since we are running it on our own

server, there are no ads and it's really simple to post.

 

FYI, the guidelines for posting to SFBAVeg are in the Charter, which can be

found at http://www.generationv.org/charter.htm

 

Thanks,

I felt that McDonald's posting a loss for the first time in 47 years

was veg*n AND AR related. McDonald's is one of the biggest killers

of animals. McDonald's posting a loss tells me that there are

opportunities, opportunities for those of us that believe in a world

where the masses will eat veg*n options if they are there. Perhaps

McDonald's posting a loss is a sign that consumers want more than

just what's out there now.

When you put it like that, I agree, too! Thanks, Jessica, for an eloquent

reminder.

 

Personally, I would always encourage folks to preface reposting items of

information that (on the surface) do not appear to be veggie/AR related as

to why they are related. As folks arrive at veg*nism for different reasons,

or have different levels of knowledge, it is helpful to include a few

explanatory sentences to set your message in the right context.

http://www.vegsource.com/articles2/mcdonalds_lawsuit.htm is a very

interesting article.... By Jeff Nelson of vegsource: " What most vegetarians

don't know is that the settlement is more offensive than McDonald's original

deception of its vegetarian customers -- because McDonald's is attempting to

steer millions of dollars of the settlement monies to animal researchers and

anti-vegetarian organizations by simply calling them " vegetarian

organizations. "
