Hey guys this looks like an honest-to-God, grass-roots attempt to
start a large-scale boycott of McDonalds. I got it from a friend of
mine in rural California who has a lot of contacts with the ranching
community in western US.
Obviously the politics of ranching in America are themselves hard to
defend, and this guy's environmental and health claims are pretty
general, not to say vague. But his call to boycott is an indictment
of NAFTA and globalization more generally, and it's coming from a
very sincere (self-interested, yet populist) angle. So it seems to be
worth passing along. Boycott McDonalds? Hey it won't be hard but I'm
not complaining...

<br>
Guys<br>
<br>
--We as cattle producers are very passionate about this.<br>
Mc Donald's claims that there is not enough beef in the USA to<br>
support their restaurants. Well we know that is not so. My opinion
is<br>
they are looking to save money at our expense. The sad thing of it
is<br>
that the people of the USA are the ones who made McDonalds
successful<br>
in<br>
the first place, but we are not good enough to purchase beef from.
We<br>
personally are no longer eating at McDonalds, which I am sure does
not<br>
make<br>
an impact, but if we pass this around maybe there will be an impact
felt<br>
all<br>
Americans that sell cows at a livestock auction barn had to sign a<br>
paper<br>
stating that we do NOT EVER feed our cows any part of another cow.<br>
South<br>
Americans are not required to do this as of yet.<br>
> > > > > > > > > > > > ><br>
McDonalds has announced that they are going to start importing much
of<br>
their beef from South America. The problem is that South Americans<br>
aren't<br>
under the same regulations as American beef producers and the<br>
regulations<br>
they have are loosely controlled.<br>
<br>
They can spray numerous pesticides on their pastures that have
been<br>
banned here at home because of residues found in the beef.<br>
They can also use various hormones and growth regulators that we
can't.<br>
The American public needs to be aware of this problem and that they
may<br>
be<br>
putting themselves at risk from now on by eating at good old
McDonalds.<br>
<br>
American ranchers raise the highest quality beef in the world and
this<br>
is<br>
what Americans deserve to eat. Not beef from countries where
quality<br>
is<br>
loosely controlled. Therefore I am proposing a boycott of
McDonalds<br>
until<br>
they see the light. I'm sorry but everything is not always about
the<br>
bottom<br>
line, and when it comes to jeopardizing my family's health that is
where<br>
I<br>
draw the line.<br>
<br>
I am sending this note to about thirty people.<br>
If each of you send it to at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300) ...
and<br>
those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 = 3,000) ... and<br>
so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth generation of
people,</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>we<br>
will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers!<br>
<br>
If those three million get excited and pass this on to ten friends
each,<br>
then 30 million people will have been contacted! If it goes one
level<br>
further, you guessed it..... THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!!<br>
Again, all you have to do is send this to 10 people. That's all.<br>
I'll bet you didn't think you and I had that much potential, did
you?<br>
Acting together we can make a difference. If this makes sense to
you,<br>
please pass this message on.<br>
