Usually vitriolic, at times bellicose; I'm not here to be nice
Each Friday, something to think about
A walk on the natural side each Sunday (or Monday...)
The Apothecary - A place to find natural products and remedies
So how have we gotten so far off course? When the label of ‘green’ was introduced, it was seen as a mission statement; something that would entitle the customer to some sense of comfort that they product they were supporting (which was usually more expensive) was working with the Earth’s best interests at heart. Instead we have simply completed a full consumerist revolution; the label has been taken, assigned a cultural identity and used to sell a piece of a lifestyle that is intended to speak more to your peers than to subsidize an environmental commitment.

Oh please … McD’s as a health food? I don’t think so! I noticed that they neglected to mention the amount of fat, sodium, and sugar in that meal … not to mention the chemicals in their pink slime … oops, I mean meat! 🙂

There is a reason I call it MuckD’s, it’s all crap! If people would just stop buying junk food they’d go out of business, sadly the sheeple are too brainwashed!

It’s baffling that Mcdonald’s is still churning out these ads. Even the font looks like it’s from the 80’s, is that for nostalgic effect?
I’d have more respect if they said “a little bit of crap now and then won’t hurt, go on, you know you want to”.

>aweek, ‘have a little crap’ made me spill my coffee. I don’t know if the ad is current, or old, but the mere fact that they produced such BS makes me wonder.
Thanks for the comment, appreciated.
