Don't swear, Justin. Kids might read this.

You accuse people of applying general principles to individual franchises. I think a greater flaw in your logic lies in your refusal to acknowledge the wider issues entirely. One of the major reasons why this country emits four times as much greenhouse gases as the OECD average is the farming of cattle. The reason why two-thirds of Australian forests have been decimated is the farming of cattle. A major reason for the predominance of cardiovascular disease in this country is the overconsumption of meat. I do not think you can claim that McDonalds' properly complements the Australian diet when the Department of Health has been urging Australians for twenty years to reduce their intake of red meat.

As for Hungry Jacks', I would maintain that your persistent comparisons are analogous to a compost heap elevating itself above a dunghill, although both would be a great deal more environmentally benign than the two aforementioned institutions.
