The following questions and answers are excerpts from the leaflet produced by London Greenpeace:
·What’s the connection between McDonald’s and starvation in the ‘Third World’?
o McDonald's is one of several giant corporations with investments in vast tracts of land in poor countries . . . evicting the small farmers that live there growing food for their own people.
·Why is it wrong for McDonald’s to destroy rainforests?
o McDonald's and Burger King are two of the many US corporations using lethal poisons to destroy vast areas of Central American rainforest to create grazing pastures for cattle to be sent back to the States as burgers and pet food. . .
·How does McDonald’s deliberately exploit children?
o The food they're seduced into eating (the children) is at best mediocre, at worst poisonous.
·In what way is McDonald’s responsible for torture and murder?
o In the slaughterhouse, animals often struggle to escape. Cattle become frantic as they watch the animal before them in the killing-line being prodded, beaten, electrocuted, and knifed.
