| Description | We as 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. My opinion is, they are looking to save money
at our expense. The sad thing of it is that the
people of the USA are the ones who made McDonalds
successful in the first place, but we are not good
enough to purchase beef from.
We personally are no longer eating at McDonalds, which
I am sure does not make an impact, but if we pass this
around maybe there will be an impact felt. Please pass
on your opinion.
Just to add a note; all Americans that sell cows at a
livestock auction barn had 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.
McDonalds 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
McDonalds.
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 McDonalds until
they see the light. I'm sorry but everything is not
always about the 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! If those three million get excited and
pass this on to ten friends each, then 30 million people
will have been contacted! If it goes one level further,
you guessed it..... THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!!
Again, all you have to do is send this to 10
people. That's all. 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.
