Dear McDonald's

Now, you KNOW I'm not a big fan of fast food. You also know that I really have no appreciation for your company refusing to remove trans fats from its foods because of the "negative effect" it would have on taste... if KFC can do it, anyone can.

My problem with you today, however, comes from some reading and research I've been doing.

How IS it, McDonald's, that you can supply Sweden with nothing but organic food in edible or 100% biodegradable packaging (removing horrible things like feed lots for raising the beef - the environmental impact ALONE with THAT move really ought to make you think)? How is it, McDonald's, that you claim that you can't serve vegetarian options when in Geneva you do, in fact, serve up a Vegi Mac?

It just plain pisses me off, McDonald's, that you can't offer North American consumers (or in my case, non-consumers) healthier and (likely) tastier food.

off topic but you may find this comic funny....also mcdonalds is very terrible....and those things would just cost money. they might have to start charging more than 1.56 for a cheeseburger...oh no!

Great comic. Thanks Ky. Thinking of a revolution... how do we make it unacceptable for McDonald's to serve anything BUT organic foods in biodegradable containers?

its a lot harder in canada and the states than it is in places like sweden. a few years back they tried to do the same thing sweden did and we got some things. but mcdonalds kind of slipped by and now it has kind of disappeared. i think it will come one day. but the politicians have to care enough about the avergae persons health. and health care today doesnt heal the problem just makes it go away.

Good point - but if health and welfare are in question, aren't environmental issues paramount? BTW - not Leon
