Why I Boycott McDonald's As a teen vegetarian and environmental activist, I have some major issues with McDonald's. Here is a small sample of the reasons why. For more info, visit McSpotlight . And yet the company spends a fortune promoting itself as environmentally friendly. McDonald's say no.
Many people say yes.
So McDonald's sue them. They annually produce over a million tons of packaging, used for just a few minutes before being discarded. As the world's largest user of beef they are responsible for the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of cows per year. In Europe alone they use half a million chickens every week, all from windowless factory farms. Again, McDonald's argue that they stick to the letter of the law and if there are any problems it is a matter for government.
