you did a lame job of that - cause you implied that Aussi Maccers used beef that wasn't raised in the amazon, there by giving th eimpression that the land used in Aus wasn't logged. there by causing more mis-information.
it doesn't take a degree to know that beef farming is one hell of a waste of resources.
The best way to cure a broken heart is to give the pieces away
So kill me.... it's easter so I'll build a cross for you.
I was just thinking that besides Maccas using Aussie beef, that meant the Amazon wasn't cleared for your Big Mac and I doubt Aussie rainforests were cleared for it either. Sorry for not being more explicit to say that Australian graziers are probably still guilty of clearing woodland for grazing. You wouldnt clear rainforest in OZ though because most of it is in hilly areas, and anyone who knows rainforests knows they actually have very nutrient poor soil, as all the nutrients are locked up inside the plants and recycled quickly when leafy material breaks down in the humid wet environment. In the Amazon, it's all rainforest, so they will knock that down because it is the land they are after and have no other options (unlike Oz with its varying ecosystems).
Just kill me.
I eat Maccas occassionally, I like a steak on the BBQ (medium rare please), I can't help but participate in the global economy unless I want to go live in a mud brick home I make myself on a piece of bush as a squatter, eating whatever I could grow in a vege patchy.
Just because I rock, doesn't mean I'm made of stone.
maccas or not, australia has the second highest rate of deforestation in the world, behind only brazil.
we log our water catchments in melb, we destroy pristine virgin forest in tassie; all so that govts (state and fed) can get the votes of the loggers, and so the japanese can keep using wooden chopsticks
fuck this shit... although i did eat maccas tonight and it was good

Do they have a Zebra Burger?
yummy!!!
ROOOAARRRR!!!
The Lion is a mammal of the family Felidae. It is the second largest natural living feline with the exception of the tiger. The male lion, easily recognized by his mane, weighs between 150 and 250 kg. His natural prey are the deer and the zebra
I think most people would agree, there's good Macca's and then there's bad Macca's (although some would say it's all bad).
For me (and I hope this hasn't already been discussed, I got some deja vu on this):
GOOD: Kew, Elizabeth St City, Shepparton, Victoria St Collingwood;
BAD: Maroondah Hwy Blackburn (had that yesterday - nasty!), Hawthorn (easy on the salt guys!) and many, many more that for some reason I cannot recall at this moment in time.

Was good except the top of the bread was burnt..... dodgy
there's an awesome tuckshop thing near the porche place called the lunch box. it's a bit of a hike but well worth it. They do these massive sandwhiches for like $5. they're so good. they also have various hot things like pastas and whatnot. the chicken dim sims are the best.
The maccas on the corner of bourke and hadware lane is pricless. all those bronze lions and fake plants. mutton dressed as lamb.
I really like those maccas ads with the kids coming out of their stomachs.

Agree- although when drunk I'd rather hit Hungry Jacks. their burgers DO taste better IMO.
Deviant, those Deli Choice things are horrid. I got a caeser one when they first came out and it was burnt to the shithouse and left a weird smell on my hands.. wrong on so many levels. I ate two bites then took it back and got my money back.

I can honestly say I haven't eat Macca's in years. Melbourne is blessed with so much good food that it seems pointless to waste my hard earned on glorified cardboard. That said, I used to eat it a lot as a student...
This ain't no party
This ain't no disco
This ain't no foolin' around

when done well those chicken caesar things rock. The majority of the ones i've had (maybe 6 all up) were great
but i just threw it out.
