THIS IS A GOOD DECENT MAN

WHO TOOK THE TIME TO WRITE THIS AND

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.
