Why?

I must admit that I'm confused. Why would McD's allow itself to get sucked into litigation that could only end in poor PR? I am also confused by the fixation on McDonald's. As far as I can see it, their great sin is that they are big, international and succesful. I enjoy eating meat, I consume a balanced diet and I feel healthy. I have 'fast food' around once a month, but I eat meat 4-5 times each week. Should every producer of animal products be pursued?
