McDonald's Eating Up The Rain Forest!!!

[Guest guest]

Their activities were also documented

in Guatemala; as they paid farmers

to cut down their crops, and clear their lands,

in order to make pasture lands (which

were intended to fatten cattle, later to

be sold to McDonald's at a pathetically

cheap rate--that is, so they could sell

their cheeseburgers for $.04 less per burger).

 

But this isn't all...the carnivore mind

and system, which includes the decision

makers in D.C., have long ago introduced

and passed legislation to subsidize the meat

industry with water subsidies, thereby

enabling the monsters to sell their burgers

on the cheap. Without those subsidies, the

big mac would cost $35.

 

So much for our so-called capitalist system,

where market demand dictates price. The carnivore

system and mind pattern is insidious.

 

All of it is irrelevant. Rain forest clearing, etc.,

would not be at issue if there wasn't a demand for

said burgers. It isn't just McDonald's who is to

blame, it is every person buying and eating burgers

too. The article should read:
