The 14th Amendment, a United States anti slavery amendment, guarantees all persons equal protection under the law. McDonald's argues that corporations are legally people and therefore need not give a raise to workers.

When Richard Nixon was US president, Ray Kroc, McDonald's founder, gave him 1 million dollars in exchange for Nixon's exempting fast food chains from minimum wage. Nixon did so, but was overridden by Congress. http://aflcio.org

On April 30, Steve Inskeep of NPR reported that a Kuala Lumpur appeals court has
ruled McDonald's has no standing to prevent another restaurant from naming itself
McCurry. As millions of Scots have said, McDonald's doesn't own the prefix Mc

allow black franchisers to buy in white neighborhoods. The case was settled out of court.

Both Prince Charles and his father Prince Philip have made public statements, the former

for food poisoning and many other situations.
National Public Radio was the recipient of 200 million dollars from Joan Kroc, Ray Kroc's
widow. Unfortunately several times a week the NPR staff work in product placement
ads for the chain. Marketplace, Morning Edition, All Things Considered etc. How can there
be unbiased coverage of news when such a financial incentive to promote a company is
involved?

Animal flesh is an addiction
The trioxypurine or uric acid or preurine in animal muscle cells is more addictive than
caffein, dioxypurine (3 oxypurines to 2). You can break the chains which cause animal agony.
