in the fast food court of public opinion

McDonalds from two different angles, in the NY Times (reg. req'd). One article, Fast Food and the Obesity Problem looks at the fast food industry, and how its members are considering changing in light of the possibility of litigation. McDonalds also gets a mention in Advocates for Animals Turn Attention to Chickens, for their promise to "buy eggs only from producers who do not starve their chickens to force molting and who raise them in cages of at least 72 square inches for each bird, nearly double the current United States average of 40 square inches."
