Great, somebody else who hates inaccuracy as much as I do ;-)

> So now the eco-terrorists of Greenpeace in England have a stupid website.

Erh.. well no actually! (assuming you are refering to this website
and not the various Greenpeace web sites). This website has nothing what-so-ever
to do with Greenpeace (neither does it have anything to do with London Greenpeace,
the group that orginaly distributed the allegedly libelous leaflet).

> You all sound to me like a bunch of preachers with no life.

'You' is a funny word, for a moment I thought you might have been talking
about me, but then I realised that 'you' could refer to anyone reading your
message - even YOU. Perhaps you would like to be a little more specific with
your charges and insults.

Ever heard of advertising? Its not the same as a gun, but nobody claimed it was.

The Jack-in-the-Box case was caused by under cooked burgers. Burgers is what
McDonald's and other similar fast-food chains sell. And they sell them quick,
increasing the chance of undercooking and thus increasing the chances of food
poisoning. McDonald's has had its own E-coli 'outbreaks' ...

McDonald's has made a number of formal admissions in the McLibel trial regarding
the undercooking of products and in-store hygiene. In May 1994, Kingston (UK) authorities
had fined them £750, whilst in December 1992 Southend authorities had fined them £1000
for an undercooked McChicken sandwich. In Sutton (UK) the local authority found the
corporation guilty of another incidence of an undercooked McChicken sandwich.
McDonald's has also admitted responsibility for a serious food poisoning outbreak
in Preston (UK) in 1991, when several customers were hospitalised as a result of eating
undercooked burgers contaminated by potentially deadly E.Coli 0157H bacteria. They also
admitted responsibility for a similar outbreak in 1982 caused by the same type of bacteria,
which affected 47 people in Oregon and Michigan, USA.

What are you talking about?

There are many organisation in the UK that campaign against blood sports.
What this has to do with either Greenpeace or McSpotlight, I have no idea.

Would seem like a waste of time considering that it wasn't untill
1954 that Ray Kroc became the first franchisee appointed by Mac and
Dick McDonald, thus begining the McDeath saga.
