MICKEY D'S WON'T SAY NO TO DRUGS

McDonald's continues to dig its own grave, reneging on a promise to stop buying chicken that's pumped full of all kinds of antibiotics. Many of the chain's rivals, such as KFC, Subway and Hardee's, have shifted their purchasing to chickens that are only pumped full of some kinds of antibiotics (the kinds deemed least relevant to human medical treatment). But McDonalds stands firm - so far - in a strategy that can only be called incomprehensible. The fast-food giant is obviously desperate to reform its image as purveyor of complete crap, yet it waits to be prodded, and beaten, on this, while more healthful fast-food franchises continue to eat away at its future market share. The only explanation I can see: Eating too much beef causes dementia.
