McDonalds

I knew the people in the McLibel trial and the way the McD monolith tried to crush criticism was unforgivable.

They use UK grown potatoes. So they will be operating legally in this country.
If the law needs changing, that isn't McD's job.

As I said they are immoral as a corporate. Just that the potatoes thing is not factually accurate.

Interestingly the largest supplier of 'fries' for McDonald's at this time is McCain Foods (GB) Limited.

Likely that a lot of people who boycott McDonald's have these potatoes in their freezers.

Indeed. Anyway, I won't set foot in fucking McDonalds even if they served the greatest food in the universe. Which they don't.

A lot of people say this to me (not saying you do, Ed). But then happily go to your high street takeaway place for a kebab or burger.

Following the last 10 or 15 years of fuss, they have really increased the quality of the meat they use. Where as your local fastfood place hasn't.

Are you talking about that awful food hygiene rating the Phoenix Cafe on Coldharbour Lane, Brixton got?

No more than any other large businesses. They've got an excellent business model and products that tens of millions of people buy daily. Their sourcing and animal welfare requirements are improving as well as (I believe) staff pay and conditions. Much of the criticism levelled at them a few years ago simply no longer applies.

The film about McDonald's founders is well worth a watch. The business model was initially a moment of brilliance by a independent.

There's not an awful lot of logic in your point.

You mean the place that closed down years ago?
