I have never eaten at McDonald's since I've had a
choice in the matter.  My parents used to take me
often.  But your question is interesting ecause it
assumes that: 1) people who don't think as you do or
who say there is a better way are really hypocrites at
bottom; and 2) there is no choice but to do things we
know are wrong.  Hey, guilty pleasures, right?

Since your response to me had absolutely nothing to do
with puppetry let me turn it back at least in some
small way to the general purpose of this discussion
group.  Forget eating at McDonald's or spending money
there.  What about taking money from a corporation you
think is raping the environment?  McDonald's has
employed puppeteers and puppet builders to advertise
its product, and to children, specifically, for years.
 Now that we can't claim total ignorance about the
effects of its good work on the earth and on a
generation or two of fat Americans (and even
Europeans), can people who claim to care about any of
these issues continue to work for a corporation like
that?  I mean, it's a gig, right, and puppeteers have
to eat, right?  So if you think McDonald's is somehow
a bad company, as your question to me suggests, would
you accept its blood money?  What about other entities
you find questionable?  Would getting paid, maybe to
do shows that were personal to you and "had the right
message", be the greater good to you?
