Remember a while back McDonald's got sued for having beef in their fries and then they had to pay up to the order of $12.5 million. Well check out whats happening to that settlement money. This just makes me sick; the kind of sick where you can almost taste the bile in your mouth.
What I don't understand is how getting money is going to help the religious or moral beliefs of any of the people that felt wronged by McDonald's untruthful disclosure regarding the fries. Being a staunch lifelong vegetarian if I was given a food product which was wrongly marked vegetarian I don't think money would be the answer at all. Some of kind of mass public apology along with clauses to hire consultants from animal rights groups to inspect and revise animal handling practices would surely hit the spot a lot better than some money.
Whats even more confusing in this case is how millions of people are clamoring for this money when after all is said and done and its divided up it will only be a few dollars each. As I said earlier this makes me very very sick. Its gone from a "damn you McDonald's" case to a "we want free money" case.
Also the other day my Texas aunty sent me this link. Notice how the site pretends to adhere to some ghostly Vedic beliefs that seems to have originated in some random dumb-American friendly place as opposed to outright say "We believe in the whiteified version of ancient Hindu beliefs". I guess thats what happens when the Vedic sytem based on the Vedas is coupled with capitalism and then it is raped for some monetary benefit by a bunch of dumbass money hungry Americans.
Oh how I wish I had access to a never ending account of beat downs I could hand out.
Hopefully I'll be less angry after I eat some lunch.
