McDonald's Family Restaurants have been awarded damages of $A98,300 after a British court found two environmentalists guilty of libel; the pamphlets distributed by the environmentalists listed defamatory statements; those statements included assertions that McDonald's flouts environment concerns with packaging, destroys rain forests, sells dangerously unhealthy food, seduces children, exploits staff and tortures animals; McDonald's claims the victory is important not because they beat the individual but because it established the
truth.
