If McD wasn't burning SA rainforrests, they'd have to buy beef from somewhere- probably the US, where grazing land is already cleared, and that would create jobs. Is that good? Bad? You decide. But understand that everything is global- even your job at McD's. It's all interconnected, and if you don't speak up, others will speak in your place. You can't NOT let global concerns affect you. It's too late for that.
And RMCC is good, but not great enough to allow McD's to continue destorying the environment & cultures of different parts of the word. RMCC is not a free ticket to "do anything at all".

I guess the other problem is justifying a 120mb site devoted to slating McD's when it is not necessarily the best way about solving the global problems of which McD's is just a VERY small part.
* I disagree. McD's is often the first inroad into developing countries. It is part of a system, brought by the West, that destroys cultures in the non-West.
None.
