IHOP can work, but is pricey and high-caloric. Fazoli's is > a fast-food Italian chain but rumor has it it's McDonald's who owns it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 30, 2003 Report Share Posted April 30, 2003 > Just wondering and pardon my naivete, but why boycot Mickey D's? Cuz - well just becuz. Becuz they - oh dear, someone else explain. I'm too old! ;=) Okay - my reasons: McD's employ young people at minimum wage and then disemploy them; too much into big biz agriculture that exploits/slaughters/tortures; fat-loaded and sugar-loaded food; have proven themselves to be unreliable narrators about their own goings-on - that is to point, for e.g., to the whole beef-in-french-fries debacle. And that's just for starters. But hey, this wasn't my post - maybe Gene has his own reasons for boycotting and they are bound to be more creative than mine LOL And that's not a naive question - It's a *good* question ;=) 'Naive' are the questions I usually ask on this list ;=) best, Pat -- SANTBROWN townhounds/ http://www.angelfire.com/art/pendragon/ ---------- * " Until he extends the circle of compassion to all living things, man will not himself find peace.
