Annual Anti McDonald's Day: Oct 15
by Vegan Campaigns
Contact 07960 036 044 on the day.

Bring your friends, fancy dress, or just yourself! Meeting at 12 midday, Leicester Square McDonalds.
Contact 07960 036 044 on the day.

. The US Commerce Dept has stolen
money from the poor to run ads
for the world's biggest unionbuster
and mammal butcher through the
Market Promotion Program which pays for overseas commercials.
. The US Treasury has paid many of
McDonald's summer employees.
. Charles Griffis and another black
franchiser in separate lawsuits have sued the chain
for practices such as not allowing
black franchisers to buy in white
areas Professor Newton Pacht
of Howard Law was a consultant
for the NAACP.
. McDonald's promotes obesity through the tens of
billions it has spent on tv and radio advertising. McDonald's and other fast food chains have sought to outlaw class action obesity suits against the corporation which has spent trillions
in advertising on world wide media.
. Others pay for the health care costs
generated by McDonald's cancer,
heart attack, arthritis and food poisoning producing food
. While Burger King has a veggie burger
Taco Bell has a vegan burrito and
Subway has admittedly a pathetic
salad sandwich, dinosaur McDonald's provides
no veggie burger in the US. Suppliers
like Swift supply animal flesh.
. McDonald's chief supply of flesh
is old or infertile young dairy cows.
What is in their flesh?
Blood, trioxypurine, adrenalin, cholesterol, prions, fecal
matter, colon bacteria, toxoplasmosis, trichinosis, insecticides, female hormones, antibiotics, mercury, arsenic, chromium, polychlorinated biphenols, no vitamin C,
no natural bulk, senility, sterility, cancer, anthrax, lead, Mad Cow, Mad Deer, impotence, fly dung, smallpox, tularemia
Alzheimer's, alcoholism, addiction, salmonella
. McDonald's promotes war by advertising on warjock
chickenhawk programs.
. McDonald's and other fleshmongers cause more
annual deaths than tobacco, alcohol, traffic accidents
and war combined.
. A Mexican union of 86,000 members
held out for 2 months before
the Mexican government and the
CIA got McDonald's into that country.
. McDonald's gave 1 million to Richard
Nixon and in return he exempted
the corporation from minimum wage.
Congress later overturned the
legislation.
. Fast food places have been
higher magnets for crime.
. McDonald's litter is scattered for
miles around its outlets, clogging
streams, adding to the environmental
destruction and cost of additional
landfills.
. While most countries want a fit
military, McDonald's has had
monopoly contracts at some US
military bases.
. The attorneys general of California,
New York and Texas have sued
McDonald's in the past for
its falsehoods in claiming nutrition.
. National Public Radio overtaken
by US regime propaganda arm
Radio Free Europe's Kevin Klose
owns 200 million in McDonald's stock
which has further eroded NPR
honest coverage of the flesh industry.
. Mutual and pension funds undemocratically
invested in McDonald's in violation
of the beliefs of many of their members
have lost billions for their members.
. McDonald's has had five straight
quarter losses, as the number of
young becoming vegans multiplies
geometrically, as news of Mad Cow
Disease grows.
. A pound of animal flesh takes
81 times the production energy
of a pound of fruit and many times
the gallons of water.
. The speed of slaughter in McDonald's slaughterhouses
has many side effects.
http://www.wvec.com/news/local/mcchicken_head.htm
. from an older pamphlet: Washington
DC has the most McD outlets per
capita and the highest intestinal
cancer rates in the US.
. The CIA has gotten McDonald's
into over 100 countries.
. Like all meat operations, McDonald's
is a factor in deforestation, erosion,
floods, through the destruction
of trees.
. McDonald's worsens world hunger
by supporting animal agriculture
yielding 100 to 1000 lbs of flesh
per acre, as compared to olive, nut,
and fruit orchards which can yield
450,000 lbs. an acre.
. Vegetarian groups were awarded a
minuscule
ten million dollars for proving that
McDonald's fries were preprocessed
in sheep tallow.
. EU has threatened to outlaw
junk food advertising to children
if corporations do not restrain themselves

If you wish to adopt 1 or several
McDonald's to leaflet, fortune cookie
sized strips are cheap to produce
(5 to 12 to a page) and easy to
slip under windshields.

Those who have endorsed at least 1 of the many McDonald's boycotts
since 1983 include Mpfo Tutu, Martin Sheen, Jane Goodall, Dick Gregory, Ralph Nader, former Representative Ron Dellums, former Chief Rabbi of Ireland David Rosen, and over 10,000 organizations
in several coalitions.

KFC continues to ignore millions
of requests that it make its
slaughterhouses less brutal.

I INTRINSIC IN ALL ANIMAL FLESH

. THE BLOOD is called juice after its chemical nature changes from cooking.
. SWEAT OR PRE URINE is uric acid or trixoypurine.. more addictive than caffein (dioxypurine). It is the primary cause of arthritis and rigidity as it crystallizes into needles jabbing the joints. Uric acid would have been eliminated by the animal's
muscle cells had she not been butchered. Carnivores have 5 times the kidney size
per pound of body weight.
. TEARS THE ADRENALIN secreted by terrorized animals survives cooking.. since it is a protein enzyme.. only some of whose links are broken.. it is the ingestion of anger, terror, and agony. Such meat adrenalin has been correlated to violence. A recent Maryland prison study reported reduced violence in those eating vegetables. Ingesting
meat causes the body to be a constant state of unnatural alert.
http://www.egroups.com/messages/teachnonviolence
. THE FECES poured out by terrorized animals has traces of ecoli or colon bacteria.. not only their own waste but that of other cows on which they often slip as they are being skinned alive at Iowa Beef Processors or other sites. Dr. John Harvy Kellogg, affiliated in the last century with Kellogg cereals found that after a few hours ecoli (colon or intestinal bacteria) can multiply into the billions. As trillions
of gallons of fecal matter are dumped into the waterways,
ecoli or colon bacteria based infections are coming to
vegetarians as well as nonvegetarians.
SENILITY
. ALzheimer's Disease is caused by ALcohol, cooking with ALuminum, and the prions in ALlanimal protein.
. The animal fat in meat clogs cerebral arteries.
(Wm Shakespeare in "Twelfth Night": "He is a heavy eater of beef. Methinks it doth harm to his wit." )
. NO VITAMIN C
C is in no animal products.. It speeds up the flow of brain snyapse messages and promotes connective tissue in the skin, said two time Nobel Laureaute Linus Pauling, who
defined an orthomolecule as a molecule in fruit. C is a toxin bouncer.
.THE ANIMAL FAT CAUSES HEART ATTACKS
Animal fat clogs the arteries causing heart attacks and strokes, which are the single major cause of death in the world. Meat deaths per year outdo alcohol, tobacco, and accidents combined. It is not just the animal fat in meat which causes this,
but the uric acid (trioxypurine) is an unnatural stimulant, as is the adrenalin
enzyme. Adrenalin mobilizes the body for fight or flight. Meateating puts the
body in a constant state of stress.
CANCER
Countries with the highest meat consumption have the
highest rates of intestinal cancer. Canada, Australia,
the US, Argentina, and Chile are some of these. Meat has no natural bulk and
causes a constipation which leads to total blockage.
OVERWEIGHT: Dr Mervyn Hardinge working at an Ivy League university found that vegans weigh 23 lbs. less than nonvegetarians while dairy vegetarians weigh 12 lbs. less.
Fruitarians weighed least. In the 3 month study, the groups were
all given the same number of calories per day. The increased
bulk and lack of constipating flesh in vegetarian and vegan diets is a factor.
. ANTHRAX, SMALLPOX (COW POX), TULAREMIA
and other forms of bioterrorism all originate in the consumption of animal flesh or contact with their skins (hides, leather making, wool sorters' disease) The USDA which protects the multi trillion dollar meat industry while attempting to prevent diversity in fruit seeds from entering the country attributes only 700 deaths in animals to anthrax last year (500 in Texas) while virtually only NBC reported the anthrax in November 2001 in 21 California cows.
SONGLESSNESS
Susan Miller, voice specialist with Georgetown Univ Hosp (a
vivisecting institution) has spoken of the rigidity of vocal chords caused by dioxypurine (caffeine). Trioxypurine (uric acid in meat) is even more damaging.
II DISEASES ASSOCIATED WITH MEAT CONSUMPTION
There are tens of thousands of diseases caused by the consumption of the flesh
of animals. The USDA listed slightly over 100 in the early part of the 20th Century,
but as knowledge has increased and toxic pollutants have saturated the environment,
the number has increased.
PERITONITIS When George Wallace was shot, he never completely healed from peritonitis caused by the bullet ripping through his intestinal tract after he had just eaten a hamburger. The bullet carried colon bacteria throughout the body.
GANGRENE The downed cows passed into the human meat supply by
the corrupt USDA are often gangrenous.
PUTREFACTION: Like any corpse, animal flesh (meat) deteriorates
after death. Even when the cadaver is frozen, creiophilic
bacteria multiply. (see below) The inability of the body efficiently to digest animal flesh is a cause of appendicitis. When the animal flesh is heated, thermophilic
bacteria develop. Dr John Harvey Kellogg found that billions of ecoli bacteria
multiply in the body after the animal is dead a few hours.
GELATIN a name for the ground up bones of animals.. which
can contain Mad Cow frequent brand name Jello
MAD COW MAD DEER MAD ELK ETC Dr Stanley Prusiner went to the University
of California from Harvard to receive more priority
for his prion work, which won a Nobel Prize. Mad Cow proteins can incubate for 50 years said the World Health Organization's communicable disease division on the CBC. (Gelatin containing Mad Cow
is found in jello, gelcaps, soaps, toothpastes, soups etc. Vegans are catheterized much more seldom than nonvegans. However if by chance a vegan is unconscious and catheterized against her will, often the gels used against her will are animal derived.
The 5th Circuit has just upheld Howard Lyman after Amarillo cattlemen sued him. The Court held the truth is not libelous.
http://www.madcowboy.com
HEPATITIS The second cause of hepatitis is the consumption
of coprophagous (waste-eating) shellfish (lobsters, clams,
shrimp etc.) Raw sewage is dumped into the Atlantic from
several cities. Hepatitis is inflammation of the liver.
Dick Gregory states that eating liver can be compared
to eating the filter from a car.
. THE PRIONS cause cancer. Prion diseases include CJD, Creutzfeld-Jacob
Disease, GSS Gerstmann-Straussler-Scheinker syndrome, FFI, Fatal Familial Insomnia,
Kuru, a disease cannibals contract from eating human brains, (as animals
contract Mad Cow, Mad Deer and other diseases from being fed other animals' parts),
Alpers Sydrome
. TRICHINOSIS
A disease involving worms burrowing into the flesh of pigs
. TOXOPLASMOSIS a disease of rare meat
. MONONUCLEOSIS blamed on sexual contact but more frequently
from rare meat
. BRUCELLOSIS
. SALMONELLA one of many varieties of food poisoning
NAMES OF OTHER FOOD POISONING AND OTHER MEAT DISEASES
.Brucellosis, ptomaine, trichinosis
(pork flesh worms), hoof and mouth, toxoplasmosis (a rare
meat disease) and many other food poisoning viruses, bacteriae are the names of some of the ten thousand diseases which can be
transmitted to humans by eating flesh. Dr Owen Parrett in the book "Diseases of Food Animals" mentioned many.

To be honest i think this is the biggest waste of valuable time leafleting Mcdonald's. Firstly not only will it make absolutely no difference to the company because their profits will always remain high. If anything you should instead try reaching the consumer who buys from Mcdonald's because afterall they are just serving for demand and if it was not for the buying consumer then McDonald's would not be serving the food they do serve. And when you also say that they poison, kill animals and the planet ext well first off one is bullied into Mcdonald's although they do advertise, what company does'nt, secondly every supermarket sells dead animals like meat and restaurants and all those who too use the earth's resources.

I am not a big complainer to be honest but this leafleting of Mcdonald's is again a huge waste of time. Start by reaching the consumer away from the stores they have open.

Last night my 20 month old son got food poisoning from McDonalds. I spent the night, heart broken, watching my baby scream and cry in pain clutching his stomach, as he threw up and had the runs. I went to confront McDonalds today, and they gave me 5 big mac coupons! Like I really want to eat there again. Oh, and the reason my son got food poisoning? The milk. The manager even told me that if the milk is left in the front cooler over night, it sometimes will spoil. So my son spent an agonizing 8 hours in pain and throwing up, all because of laziness! Some 14 year old, didn't care enough to put the milk in the back freezer! Well, this is what I have to say.... hell knows no fury like a mothers scorn, and this is not the last time McDonalds will be hearing from me...

I don't believe a word you have just said. How convenient that there just had to be a once off article posted on the Irish animal rights part of indymedia and all of a sudden there is a posting about you're child getting sick from McDonald's it just doesnt add up and it leads me to believe you are not telling the truth. And its not really the case that people who eat at McDonald's would really be seeing putting comments up on indymedia or animal rights articles for that matter.

You're also hideous.
