The Burger King Corporation (BKC) is fighting back by telling its customers that Global Warming Is Baloney on their store signs. At least the stores owned by Mirabile Investment Corporation (MIC), a Memphis-based management company with more then 40 Burger King locations across the Mid-South.
BKC is trying to distance itself from the message last week, which is confusing because Burger King is a big target for the Global Warming Crowd. The beef industry in general is a frequent target for criticism by environmentalists. Climatecounts.org, a not-for-profit organization rates companies based on attitudes toward global warming as "a choice to avoid for the climate-conscious shopper."
I for one will be eating at Burger King more often, showing my support for Free Speech.
Unfortunately John Chidsey, the company's CEO recently described climate change as "an overriding issue of importance for the global community." And MIC was told to take the signs down.
Greenies not only want to prevent us from eating meat, they also want to ban drive-throughs to stop CO2 from cars idling while waiting. Without meat and without a drive-through, what is left of fast food?
Tofu Baloney.
