What Is Rotten Ronnie Up To?

Well this is something that has been eating at my craw for about a month now. In my eyes Ronald McDonald has crossed the line. What do you ask has got my knickers in a knot with our favorite light-hearted clown? In Canada McDonald's canceled their orange drink!!! Some like the Mc-burgers, some the fries. Well I am different I went for the nector of the gods. Their orange drink. It was not pop as it was never carbonated. Then my Sister-in-law further added to that niggling of my last Mc-nerve, with this public letter;

CANADIAN Beef: Something to think about!

This IS A GOOD DECENT MAN WHO TOOK THE TIME TO WRITE THIS
AND: HE SIGNED THE STATEMENT AND: INCLUDED HIS CONTACT INFO:

I'm sure those of you who aren't in the cattle business don't understand the issues here. But to those of us whose living depends on the cattle market, selling cattle, raising the best beef possible... This is frustrating.
This will keep us from ever stopping there again, even for a drink.
The original message is from the Alberta Cattle Feeders Association Canadian cattle producers are very passionate about this.
McDonald's claims that there is not enough beef in Canada 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
Canada are the ones who made McDonald's successful in the first place, but we are not good enough to provide beef. We personally are no longer eating at McDonald's, 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 Canadians that sell cattle at a livestock auction barn have to sign a paper stating that we do NOT EVER feed our cattle any part of another animal. South Americans are not required to do this as of yet.
McDonald's 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 Canadian 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 Canadian 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 McDonald's.
Canadian ranchers raise the highest quality beef in the world and this is what Canadians deserve to eat. Not beef from countries where quality is
loosely controlled. Therefore, I am proposing a boycott of McDonald's 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 l east 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!
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.

Now I think we as concerned shoppers should contact the rotten Ronnie HQ in Toronto Canada with our concerns. They can be called during normal business hours at
Toronto: (416) 446-3932 eastern standard time, and let them know we are not happy with their marketing concepts as of late. These big companies have forgotten how they got as big as they did on the stomachs of the red neck population. Like the email says if we just send this to ten people and it gets forwarded on. Sir Grease-a-lot will get the hint and start going back to what made them famous. The quarter pounder with cheese, a large orange drink, and a medium fries, with an apple pie. Now I must admit that is not the most heart smart meal in life, but every once and a while you need to take a trip on the wild side just to let your heart know you are still alive!

Until next time remember McDonalds announced it’s considering a more humane way of slaughtering its animals. You know they fatten them up and then kill them. You know the same thing they do to their customers, isn’t it?
