Fraternising with the Anti-Christ

”Everything went downhill from the moment the McDonald’s chain was allowed to invade England.” –Morrissey
Now, this website has shown a lot of love to Morrissey in the past. But, on this point, we have to disagree.
I’ve just had a meal at McDonalds and I don’t feel bad about it. Personally, I think it takes a lot of guts to say that in this day and age. Everybody seems to want to jump down your throat and say you’re raping Brazilian Rainforests of their dignity, committing gross crimes against your own body and perpetuating the growth of the one company that embodies everything I’m meant to hate about Capitalism.
And they’re probably right.
But you know what, just occasionally, maybe once a fortnight, a couple of Double Cheeseburgers really hit the spot.
You know what else? If people didn’t want to eat this greasy crap they wouldn’t. Feel free to hate McDonalds, but do it for the right reasons and not because that’s what everybody does. I could go off on a rant, but this article sums up my feelings more eloquently than I could. Do yourself a favour, read it and then form your own opinion instead of spouting the popular consensus…
