Fries with that?

Next time I pick up a new Mountain Xpress and see a letter by Stewart or Terry David, I will go to the nearest McDonald’s restaurant and purchase a double Quarter Pounder with cheese, then proceed to support the acquisition of a not-yet-selected local animal product and encourage others to do the same.

I’m not kidding. I will not purchase or otherwise acquire these or any other such animal products unless I see another letter from either Stewart or Terry David (or both of them).

I’m serious. I’ll do it. Another letter is the only thing holding me back. Seriously.

    This letter titled “Fries with that?” published on 2-14-07 displays an extreme lack of intelligence and compassion. It is very sad to read such comments and even more depressing to think that there are people that REALLY do lack kindness in their hearts on so many levels.

    Who is Jodi kidding? Nina’s letter was hilarious!

    To suggest that folks who eat meat lack “kindness in their hearts” is ludicrous.

    Do vegetarians of Jodi’s ilk have no sense of humor?
