What are these? Delicious Digg Reddit Facebook StumbleUpon - 2. Please could you tell me why all the rubbish that is strewn along the A14 and the immediate surrounding area is mysteriously marked with the McDonald's logo? Is there a conspiracy to monopolise on rubbish?
-
McDonald's is aware that the areas surrounding a restaurant can be prone to excess littering and that's why it has an extensive litter management programme in place in each restaurant through its 'Litter Patrols'; teams of staff who deal with all litter that's been carelessly discarded. All packaging carry messages that ask customers to dispose of waste responsibly. Litterbins are provided outside all McDonald's restaurants and the company is one of the biggest sponsors of council-provided litterbins in the country. McDonald's was not aware that there was a specific issue around the A14 and will look into this. (June 2007)

What are these? Delicious Digg Reddit Facebook StumbleUpon - 3. Hello. I have heard that McDonald's UK was instrumental in lobbying the Blair government to support the US invasion of Iraq in 2003. I have heard that McDonald's UK felt that it could utilize vast areas of the fertile cressent to grow grains to make sandwitch buns. Is this true and what is McDonald's UK's position on the ongoing conflict in the middle east?
-
McDonald's is a restaurant that's committed to providing its customers great tasting food at an affordable price, not a political party.
It had no involvement in any decisions regarding Iraq. Nor does the company want to use land in the Fertile Crescent to grow grain. (July 2007)

What are these? Delicious Digg Reddit Facebook StumbleUpon - 5. How does McDonalds feel about people selling Happy Meal toys on eBay at very high prices? Do you think that this is detrimental to the Happy Meal brand name?
-
McDonald's is aware there are many collectors of Happy Meal toys and therefore in order to complete a range, they may be prepared to pay a higher price for a specific toy. While McDonald's does not encourage this re-sale of the Happy Meal toys, the company does not feel this is detrimental to the Happy Meal brand. If anything it is a compliment to the desirability of the Happy Meal toys McDonald's produce. (July 2007)

What are these? Delicious Digg Reddit Facebook StumbleUpon - 7. i have been told by a lot of people that McDonalds are the head of the IRA. Apparently they give money to the USA for the construction of weapons used in war. also there is apparently a lot of deforestation going on by McDonalds. I was only wondering if this was actually true? i would like the honest truth.
-
McDonald's does not, and never has, funded the IRA. This story is based on an old urban myth that dates back to the 1970's when McDonald's first opened up shop in the UK. The payslips used for UK staff at that time were imported from the USA, and included printed reference to the American equivalent to NI pension contributions - the 'Individual Retirement Account' - or 'IRA' for short. The rumour that McDonald's donated to the IRA terrorist group arises from this misunderstanding.

What are these? Delicious Digg Reddit Facebook StumbleUpon - 9. yeah, I noticed you have a Pirate for a mascot, well as a law defending ninja, I take offense to this, in fact I REFUSE to eat your food, until you make the mascot "McNinja". Dont you know that Ninjas are superior to pirates in every way?
-
McDonald's is disappointed that you refuse to eat its food, although the company does not have a Pirate mascot. Ronald McDonald is the Company mascot, acting as the chief happiness officer and has been the face of McDonald's since 1963. He is one of the most recognised characters in the world, and McDonald's hopes that this will carry on for a long time to come. He is all about having fun and is not involved with pirates or ninjas in any way and therefore should not offend your Ninja heritage.

The Make Up Your Own Mind team started off fairly small but has grown to meet the demands of the site as it has grown in popularity. In all, there are 20 people contributing to the site in some way. These include designers, copywriters, subject matter experts and managers. The Make Up Your Own Mind site has been set up by McDonald's UK to give all our customers the opportunity to find out all they wanted to know about McDonald's food and how we operate. McDonald’s feels it is important to offer its customers this level of transparency to make sure they feel confident about the high standards McDonald's applies across all areas of its business.

-
All McDonald's hamburgers are made of beef. Nothing else. Just 100 percent beef, made from whole cuts of forequarter and flank (the same as a good mince you'd buy in the supermarket). All McDonald's adds is a pinch of salt and pepper after cooking. Similarly, the chicken products are made with white meat chicken breast, plus the crispy coating on the outside. None of the chicken or beef products use off cuts or mechanically reclaimed parts.
