Quick rant today against fast food. First Burger King is trying to make a foothold in Tamarindo. I'm appalled. Didn't move thousands of miles to eat the gutbomb crap they shovel out and I don't want to see their wrappers all over my beach. Then today I read a story in the news about McDonalds suing some rugby team in Australia because their sponsor's name includes "Mc". What kind of hogwash is that? As if they have the exclusive rights to Scottish heritage or something?
The rugby team is boycotting MickyD's. I'd threaten to do the same but haven't actually eaten there in a decade, so it is a pretty hollow threat.
Feeling pretty powerless in the face of these multinational purveyors of homogenized foodstuffs, but wishing that people everywhere would put just a little more thought into what they put into their bodies.
