Thursday October 16th - Worldwide Anti-McDonald's Day

Thursday October 16th - Worldwide Anti-McDonald's Day

From McSpotlight

Thursday October 16th 2003 will be the 19th annual Worldwide Anti-McDonald's Day [UN World Food Day] - a protest against the promotion of junk food, the unethical targeting of children, exploitation of workers, animal cruelty, damage to the environment and the global domination of corporations over our lives.

SO WHY NOT ORGANISE PICKETS AND PROTESTS IN YOUR TOWN ON THURS OCT 16th (OR ANY DAY THAT WEEK)? And please send us a report! Please copy the 'What's Wrong With McDonald's?' leaflet here.

Millions of leaflets have now been handed out in over 27 languages worldwide since 1990 when the McDonald's Corporation took legal action against the McLibel 2 aiming to suppress the growing leafletting campaign. This surely demonstrates the determination of community activists to ensure that the public have the opportunity to see through the glossy marketing propaganda that big business continually forces upon us.

Despite its strenuous efforts, McDonald's is widely despised, and its 'reputation' - along with that of the food industry in general - continues to sink ever further. Last year the McDonald's Corporation even made a loss for the first time in its history!

As well as the mass distribution of leaflets by thousands of local activists around the world, especially on the World Anti-McDonald's Day, the global campaign against McDonald's has continued to grow. This includes protests by local communities, activists, and McDonald's own workers, as well as bad publicity as McDonald's becomes increasingly identified as a symbol of all that is wrong with the food industry, corporate globalisation and modern capitalism.
