If the evidence in this trial shows that the rat was cooked with the meat,this will prove McD's guilty of using the CRIMINAL courts for a super-SLAPP. If the evidence shows the rat NOT to be cooked, only then is McD's off the hook-and the person telling the story ON the hook. While there have been such faked incidents, bringing criminal charges is supposed to require strong evidence FIRST-and I suspect McD's intends to use the cases where contamination was faked to threaten those who find REAL contaminated food with criminal prosecution if they don't keep their mouths shut. If there is even one case where a person is indicted and the contaminant shown to have been cooked with the meat, it will prove this contention-and further prove that McDonald's intends to repeal freedom of speech. If this happens, I would suggest they talk to the fur industry about security against the massive vandalism businesses can face when they build up this much bad karma. For that matter, if every one who values free speech just stopped eating there, it could cause McD's to roll over and sink like a whaler that has hit an iceberg.
