Apparently part of the dread homosexual agenda now includes reduction / prevention of childhood obesity among the innocent offspring of right-wing zealots. The American Family Association has called for a boycott of McDonald's because of the corporation's sponsorship of San Francisco Pride and its efforts to stop workplace discrimination against LGBT people.
I confess to a lifelong weakness for McDonald's breakfast when I'm on the road, a weakness that has persisted even after watching "Supersize Me." And when I lived in France for a summer, some 17 years ago, I do declare there were times when I was so lonesome I sought some comfort "chez McDo." If only the Arches were the worst symbol of American power and influence throughout the world...I guess I'm just a little confused about how to feel about the right-wing boycott. It won't cause the Almighty Arches an ounce of grief. They have bigger fish to fry in transfat-free oil. Based on some of the comments I read on the AFA's website, it sounds like the Faithful are marching their children straight to Wendy's anyway, lest they miss this opportunity to develop better eating habits.

Sheesh.
I must admit I have a perennial hankeren' for breakfast from Makkudonarudo as well.
Well, even though I have never cared much for the food ad McDonalds, I guess I will just have to go eat a yogurt with fruit and granola parfait a little more often now to take up the slack.(from the boycotters)
I thought it was interesting that theAFA was boycotting because "McDonalds refused to remain neutral."
Gee, if the AFA can't remain neutral, why should anyone else?
