Members chrisash Posted March 4, 2022 Members Report Posted March 4, 2022 We should all stop buying from McDonalds as they are one of the few western countries to value keeping their shops open in Russia rather than supporting Ukraine in their fight for freedom. most other companies have pulled out of Russia Quote Mi omputer is ot ood at speeling , it's not me
Contributing Member fredk Posted March 4, 2022 Contributing Member Report Posted March 4, 2022 McDonalds are actually franchises owned by the local business person. McD supplies, sets guide prices and runs the advertising campaign but actually has no real input in that local, unlike a hop such as Tesco or ASDA Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..

Contributing Member fredk Posted March 7, 2022 Contributing Member Report Posted March 7, 2022 I apologise. I just learnt this evening that McDonalds has about 850 places in Russia and that McD owns the majority of them. How many the report did not say. Anyway, I've not had anything from a McD for about 2 years. The only thing I did get regularly was either a Hot chocolate drink or a Cappuccino coffee, so boycotting them is easy for me Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..
Members Tugadude Posted March 10, 2022 Members Report Posted March 10, 2022 Update: McDonald's, Starbucks, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo and General Electric all announced Tuesday they were suspending their business in Russia in response to the country's invasion of Ukraine.

And junk food is a 'sometimes food' < spoken in Elmo's voice Nothing beats a nice home cooked roast IMO .

I have spent most of my life eating wild meats, game birds and fish, veggies from my garden and some really awesome foraged plants , berries and such. We make most of our food daily. One of my favorites is a French dip sandwich made with Elk roast, fresh bread & au jus. With a nice glass of home made Service berry or Chokecherry wine. As soon a spring rolls around our shopping starts with a garden, foraging and fishing to get the freezer filled up again. Something i find amazing in the US is the "health food" market read the labels on some of that crap once in a while, all the same chemicals, bad oils and sugar as regular crap food we get.
