      No. They’re probably no worse than any other big company but I try not to eat there, which is easy because I don’t like their food much anyway.

      Companies don’t have ethics, they only have actions. I disagree with some of their actions, although they are not as bad as they used to be.

      But companies are not legally allowed to pursue any action that doesn’t increase their profits (and therefore increase the money its shareholders get). I think the law should be changed to discourage unethical actions by companies, but in the meantime the only thing you can do to change a companies actions is to not buy there products.

      Which part of Mc Donalds… the cutting down acres of rain forest to farm crowded and unhealthy cattle… the inhumane treatment of animals in horrible warehouses and killed in inhumane and unsanitory ways, the poor way they treat their staff, the poor quality of food that leads to poor health in consumers, the monopoly on the markets… Not much there to agree with I’m afraid 🙁 So no.

    I disagree with the cutting down of rainforests unnecessarily, also i disagree with battery farming. But it is illegal for a company to make ethical decisions unless they affect profitability in a positive way.

    What i am saying is we should be trying to change the system, ie. make companies ethically accountable under law.

    And frankly if that is true cewwen then everybody who still eats them are mugs.
