: well, if you don't believe that promoting the destruction of the worlds only tropical rain forrests is wrong, than i guess you could say that mc d's is a nice establishment.


That is another fallacy. McDonald's does not actively, or passively, promote the destruction of the rain forest. None of the beef they use is raised on former rain forest land. Get your facts straight.

McSpotlight: Well, 15 acknowledged experts testified in court that they did, including Charles Secrett (Director, Friends Of The Earth), Peter Heller (a film-maker whose film Jungleburger was banned by McDonald's) and Sue Branford, the BBC World Service's expert on Brazil.

You can find the other witness statements here.

Who should get whose facts straight?
