I'm sure those of you who aren't in the cattle

business don't understand

the issues here. But to those of us whose living

depends on the cattle

market, selling cattle, raising the best beef

possible... this is frustrating.

As for my family, we don't eat at Mc's much but

this will keep us from ever stopping there again, even

for a drink.

The original message is from the Texas Cattle Feeders

Association.

American cattle producers are very passionate about

this. Mc's claims that there is not enough beef

in the USA to support their restaurants. Well,

we know that is not so. Our opinion is they are

looking to save money at our expense. The sad thing of

it is that the people of the USA are the ones who made

Mc's successful in the first place, but we are

not good enough to provide beef.

We personally are no longer eating at

Mc's,which I am sure does not make an impact,

but if we pass this around maybe there will be an

impact felt.

Please pass it on. Just to add a note, all Americans

that sell cows at a livestock auction barn had to sign

a paper stating that we do NOT EVER feed our cows any

part of another cow.

South Americans are not required to do this as of yet.

Mc's has announced that they are going to start

importing much of their beef from South America. The

problem is that South Americans aren't under the same

regulations as American beef producers, and the

regulations they have are loosely controlled.

They can spray numerous pesticides on their pastures

that have been banned here at home because of residues

found in the beef. They can also use various hormones

and growth regulators that we can't.

The American public needs to be aware of this problem

and that they may be putting themselves at risk from

now on by eating at good old Mc's.

American ranchers raise the highest quality beef in

the world and this is what Americans deserve to eat,

not beef from countries where quality is loosely

controlled. Therefore, I am proposing a boycott of

Mc's until they see the light.

I'm sorry but everything is not always about the

bottom line, and when it comes to jeopardizing my

family's health, that is where I draw the

line.

I am sending this note to about thirty people. If each

of you send it to at least ten more (30 x 10 =300) ...

and those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 =

3,000) ... and so on, by the time the message reaches

the sixth generation of people, we will have reached

over THREE MILLION consumers!

I'll bet you didn't think you and I had that much

potential, did you? Acting together we can make a

difference. If this makes sense to you,

please

pass this message on.
