Yet another reason not to eat at McDonalds!!!!!
American cattle producers are very passionate about this.
McDonald's claims that there is not enough beef in the USA to
support their restaurants. Well we know that is not so. Our opinion is
they are looking to save money at our expense. The sad thing of it is that
the people of the USA are the ones who made McDonalds successful in the
first place, but
we are not good enough to purchase beef from. We personally are no longer
eating at McDonalds, which I am sure does not make an impact, but if we
pass this around maybe there will be an impact felt.
Please pass it on Just to add a note, all Americans that sell cows at a
livestock auction barn had to sign a paper stating that we do NOT EVER
feed
our cows any part of another cow. South Americans are not required to do
this as of yet. McDonalds has announced that they are going to start
importing much of their beef from South America. The problem is that South
Americans aren't under the same regulations as American beef producers
and
the regulations they have are loosely controlled. They can spray numerous
pesticides on their pastures that have been banned here at home because
of
residues found in the beef. They can also use various hormones and growth
regulators that we can't.
The American public needs to be aware of this problem and that they may be
putting themselves at risk from now on by eating at good old McDonalds.
American ranchers raise the highest quality beef in the world and this is
what Americans deserve to eat. Not beef from countries where quality is
loosely controlled. Therefore I am proposing a boycott of McDonalds until
they see the light. I'm sorry but everything is not always about the
bottom line, and when it comes to jeopardizing my family's health that is
where I draw the line.
I am sending this note to about thirty people. If each of you send it to
at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300) ... and
those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 = 3,000) ... and
so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth generation of people, we
will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers! If those three million get
excited and pass this on to ten friends each, then 30 million people will
have been contacted! If it goes one level further, you guessed it.....
THREE HUNDRED MILLION People!!
Again, all you have to do is send this to 10 people. That's all.
I'll bet you didn't think you and I had that much potential, did
you?
Acting together we can make a difference. If this makes sense
to you, please pass this message on.
