French Resistance to U$ Frankenfoods

French resistance forces opposing the U$ trade sanctions against Europe for refusing to eat American hormone-tainted beef havew selected McDeath to bear the brunt of their retaliatory strikes, aimed at punishing U$ agribusiness for the sanctions.
The sanctions impose prohibitive tariffs on several European food items to retaliate for the European ban on any US beef not certified hormone free. Since the Europeans have courageously refused to back down in the face of an aggressive attempt by the U$ to ram hormone and antibiotic-tainted food down their throats, the US decided to go to the WTO for permission to impose countervailing sanctions.
In France, farmers have been dumping manure outside McDonalds outlets and vandalizing a new one under construction. Even the Washington Post has now written about this-and connected it to opposition to Mega-corporate agriculture and "frankenfoods." The actions against genetically tampered crops planted in Europe have also reached the mainstream press and the time is at hand for people everywhere on Earth to rip out frankenfood by the roots.
Why target McD's? Because they are serving manure ANYWAY inside and are the world's best known symbol of American beef in particular and corporate agribusiness in general.
The French Resistance has risen again!
