Can we BUYcott them? For example, Subway is healthier and it offers many varieties of fresh vegetables and two vegetarian sandwiches. For an article on the boycott/BUYcott, google "Reward and Consent" or see my blog post: http://rewardandconsent.blogspot.com/2011/10/buycott-good-corporations-while.html Hello,

So I sent a personal email to PETA, which I recommend anyone to do if they have doubts about what they do. They sent me an interesting link about the person trying to discredit them, which I am passing on to anyone who is interested. It is http//www.ConsumerDeception.com. As a supporter of many animal welfare charities, it is well known that anyone who is frightened of their successes will try any mean tactics to discredit them and all I am saying is give them a chance.

Some people need educating on the kind of shit that goes into MacDonald's foods. No-one had serious health or overweigh issues until MacDonalds came on the scene. Paul has been a staunch vegetarian for over 30 years. What he would have been most upset about is that he was shown in a fast food restaurant where the animals came from factory farms of the worst kind. He feels passionate about his beliefs so he's going to be upset about this, in his hometown. Maybe people wont think he's endorsed it, but some will undoubtedly say "Oh wat a hypocrite, he's supposed to be veggie." But then people are saying he's a hypocrite anyway so he can't win. How can "proper food" be proper when it causes so much suffering to innocent animals who don't have a voice. It is eating the flesh of another being. People who eat any flesh are murderers or as good as and they are walking graveyards. I support Paul all the way. Close down these places, I'm sure workers can rise above the vocation of being a MacDonald's lacky. you don’t get it do you?

I'm not a fan of his and I sure as hell am not taking his direction in anything!! I guess that if he were making a profit off his photo being there, he wouldn’t be calling for a boycott.

I have to admit, I get a little upset when I read generalized, sweeping statements about Vegetarians. I don't try to enforce my lifestyle on anyone - what you put in your body is your own damn business, and I fully respect that. But I am hurt when that same "live and let live" attitude is not applied. So what if Paul is pissed off? He has every right to be! A multi-national cooperation is aggrandizing on his image without his permission. That's a law suit, right there. - Not only that, but it is a cooperation whose business practices (especially the "meat farming" aspect) he is vehemently opposes. Perhaps it is a bit silly (and egotistical) to call for a global-boycott, but McCartney is within every legal right to hold McDonalds' nads to the fire. Spooge – Harsh.

Settle down Nancy... In these choice of photos, he looks like a tyrannical sort of ex (geddit?) After seeing the fairly evil expression on his face in picture two, I almost felt a sliver of compassion for Mucca... *shudder*.. must be all the Mickey D's I've been eating... it's affected my brain...

And sure we all know that I'm a pernickity article who will look for that sort of stuff, I think that it's a good idea to clarify it for those who don't have the time nor inclination to do so. My old Irish teacher always used to drum into me the importance of avoiding sweeping statements - I still hear his "whooshing" sound whenever I realise I've done it :lol: Sorry if it seemed like I was having a go at you, I'm honestly just trying to help.
