Do you eat McDonalds hamburgers?

READ ON!
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 Texas Cattle Feeders
Association American cattle producers are very
passionate about this.
McDonald's claims that there is not enough beef in the USA 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 the USA 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.
All Americans who sell cows at a livestock auction barn have to sign a
paper stating that we do NOT EVER feed our cows any part of another
cow. 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 American 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 American 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.
American ranchers raise the highest quality beef in the world and this
is what Americans 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 a Corporation's 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
least 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.
