A lot that is said about the fast food industry tends to be uninformed, out of date plain wrong and pandering to snobbery

My clients have in recent times altered their menu to a more healthier life style, including salads and high fibre products like porridge. Where is the evil here?

My clients also contribute to a charity that provides accommodation for parents, whose children are in hospital. In the past they have even given financial aid to Kew Gardens. Where is the evil here?

Any company that gets involved in "evil" practices will not stay long in business, as people vote with their feet. That is just plain common sense.

Let's cut to the chase as to why my client is reviled

They are American and they sell MEAT

Pieces of dead animal

In these days of political correctness, there is a overtly vegan agenda. Animal rights groups get their propaganda into schools, yet the alternative viewpoint from the Meat and Livestock Commission is hardly ever given airtime.

Is that right?

I recognise that people are free to choose not to eat meat, and can live on a healthy vegan diet. I do not dispute that that is possible, and I have met people who thrive on it and good luck to them.

However

Biologically ....

Homo-sapiens are omnivores, meaning we can eat both meat and plants. The Animal rights groups are in denial about this.

My clients, mearly seek to make a living from catering to this trait.

Indeed my client does have vegetarian alternatives, so vegetarians are not excluded. Where is the evil here?

My client is maligned unfairly, as they are part of the fast food industry which have been labled as evil

Well this is Cyber Devils Advocacy even if we do have to look after the coporate clients this year
