It said the move was a "natural progression", having already changed to free-range eggs in its breakfasts.
Of course, free-range chickens are MUCH happier about people eating their ovums, just ask PETA.
The chain will switch to selling only carton milk from organically-reared British cows from next month.
Was it a scant year ago that "Mad Cow Disease" was all the rage in the U.K.? Well, we certainly don't want any milk from cows that might have been given medicine to PREVENT Mad Cow Disease, do we? (knuckle-heads...and shouldn't that be "organically-RAISED"? I thought only Greek cows are REARED!)
The decision only affects milk in cartons and will not, for now, extend to other ingredients such as milkshakes.
I don't believe they are called "milkshakes" at MickeyDees, just "shakes". The last I heard, milk was not an ingredient, so they couldn't call them "milkshakes".
McDonald's has been forced to make major changes after suffering falling sales. It issued a profits warning last month and is expected to post its first quarterly loss in its 47-year history later this month.
Bowing to PCBS (politically correct Barbara Streisand) will not save you.
Unlike the other fast food outlets, McDonald's has been serving milkshakes (complete with the "Real" seal) for quite some time now. They recently even thickened them up and started serving them with a spoon.
