You seem to be somewhat literate and articulate, but for the life of me I cannot understand your strange nitpicking. Clarification of what? Your insistance on my climbing to a moutain top to sing the praises of a company that is being called out on their use of pesticides that might be reducing said use is a bit overboard!

That is usually the case with farmers. Although they might grow crops for commercial use, they grow separate organically grown produce for themselves. Actually seeing the spraying would make it less appetizing to eat. Potatoes, peanuts and grapes are the ones to avoid as these are among some of the most highly sprayed crops. I read somewhere that when a fruit or vegetable is grown organically, the nutrient content is higher than a sprayed one.

Allow me to suggest an equally yummy lunch. Go to your nearest KFC and have a bucket of greasy, hormone laden chicken wings. They're guaranteed to give you larger breasts and they do not discriminate between the sexes.

Not trying to be a jerk, though I admit I might be a bit anal, but that's like the 10th time in this thread that you've incorrectly misspelled their name. It's McDonalds, not MacDonalds.

Not true, entirely. Their salads are good. Just make sure you get the low-fat dressing.

Yes. It's McDonald's fault. Not all the people who go stuff their faces uncontrollably.

To my credit...goes to show how often I frequent their establishments.

Did you eat too many potatoes when you were a kid? I said that McDonald's is unhealthy and didn't support them, but I support this move. What don't you understand?

Stop acting like a paranoid health freak who acts like Richard Simmons around a Klondike Bar.
