Go back to bed. Well, it's Official. According to the Boston Globe, McDonalds has been using beef extract all along. The fast-food giant, who many environmentalists and vegetarians believe is a menace to society, has been saying since 1990 that its fries are cooked in pure vegetable oil, using "potatoes, partially hydrogenated soybean oil and 'natural flavor.'" What they conveniently fail to tell anyone is that the 'natural flavor' comes from beef. The only way to find that out is to contact a McDonald's customer-satisfaction representative. If you do, they'll tell you honestly what's in it and ask you to please not make a fuss. Many people who've written to the "customer satisfaction" department for many reasons including meat issues have just received a form letter and coupons for meals to come. This author once wrote in simply, "your food just plain sucks, and I don't think I'll ever eat at a McRestaurant anymore," and received four coupons for a full meal* at any store. *full meal, of course meaning big mac, biggie fries and biggiewiggie drink with no substitutions allowed. Not able or willing to use them, the author posted them up on a bulletin board near a laundromat. This morning's Boston Globe article about a Class Action suit beginning against McDonalds corp., says that McDonalds believes using "natural flavor" as a synonym for beef extract is within federal Food and Drug Administration guidelines. If that's true, vegetarians would be wise to check each and every processed food they buy. I'll end this quoting the Globe a little because the ending to THEIR article is good. Real good. Harish Bharti, the Seattle lawyer who filed the suit against McDonald's Tuesday, said "McDonald's contention that the information was available to people if they had only asked is insulting. "Not only did they deceive these people," he said. "Now they are claiming that all these people were deceived because they were stupid. This adds insult to injury." #'s http://www.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=39236&group=webcast http://coursesa.matrix.msu.edu/~hst306/documents/huron.html http://www.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=38603 http://www.straightgoods.com/Pearson/010507.asp http://www.2600.org/news/display.shtml?id=293 http://www.bluecorncomics.com/latuff.htm http://flag.blackened.net/ati/jenna.jpg http://www.nettwerked.net/K1ine_13.txt http://www.necessarydissent.org http://www.gaspricewatch.com http://www.plumvillage.org http://www.jumpingtheshark.com http://www.pieman.org/60smidis.htm http://www.geocities.com/malatestaleague http://misnomer.editthispage.com/narcissism http://216.39.161.171/Abbie/html/abbie_links.html http://flag.blackened.net/wwwthreads/wwwthreads.php http://www.cornboy.com/hst/gallery/articles/foot.html http://www.indyweek.com/durham/2000-05-10/music_toc.html http://www.student.ocad.on.ca/student/1999_2000/stevan_plavsa/ftaa/index.html o ooooo o o o o We take up less space; o o o o oo o o o o And say twice as much. o o o ooo ATI! & LETTUCE - 4 You 2 cONsumE Fm: Accounting To: ALL STAFF Subj: muffins As of today, meeting muffins will be for client consumption only.

"He wanted to know if he would be in the book because if so he might have problems. The Deputy Directorate of Operations had just assigned him to a course in Latin American studies at the University of Wisconsin. He would be starting next September, the first DDO operations officer in living memory to be sent for graduate study. He would have to keep up his State Department cover while there, and obviously it would be blown if I mentioned him." --from Philip Agee's "On The Run" A caller on Milwaukee's "Waddya Know" radio show suggested that they clone former UN General Secretary Butrous Butrous Gali, so you could have Butrous Butrous Butrous Butrous Gali Gali. \ \ \Dream\ \ \ Subway Sandwich Shop. I'm "assistant manager's assistant." Higher wages, no benefits. They drop me down to two shifts a week. During my lunch break I call NPR's business department and help pay for four anti-globalism ads. "Hello, Subway," the assistant manager answers the phone. "Why? "But he's my best worker, and all the lower employees like and trust him. "OK boss. You know what's best for the company. It's as good as done." She removes me from the schedule and doesn't say a word about it. Tries to be as nice, albeit distant, as she can to me for the rest of my shift. "Bye," she says, "see you tomorrow?" "Alright, goodbye," I say, "be a good person," at the end of my last shift. Cambridge Confrontation STRIKE '69 - LIVING WAGE '01 You definitely won't need a weatherman to know which way this wind blows. In southern new england it's going from Boston to NYC. And that's usually a large storm. "It's like Berkeley in the '60s where an action can resonate across the country," said Mark Engler at 27 West 44th St NYC where Harvard Alum are giving some NY "ground support" to Boston's Living Wage Campaign. "This is something that could be one of those signs of the times." Engler (Class of '98) has been involved in anti-sweatshop and living wage campaigns for the past five years. He hopes the current battle at Harvard will have a galvanizing effect on campuses across the country. They've been locked down inside Massachussetts Hall for a couple weeks now. They finally rated television and other corporate media coverage for a couple days now. Yesterday I traded some records here in Wisconsin at one of my favorite used record stores. Metro Records. Lots of hip- hop and house, trance and drums, but lots of folky stuff too. Along with my trade I bought a Buddah 2 Record set. Now you might know Buddah mostly for their highest prophet in the 60's, Melanie Safka. Yeah, she's the one who told us we have brand new rollerskates and she's got a brand new key; and she also asked us to look what they did to her song. Well this record has Charles Osgood interviewing Harvard Corporation officials and offsets that against interviews with members of Students for a Democratic Society when, on April 9, 1969 they seized University Hall to support their demands. 1969. Nothing's changed since, has it? Well, little. Here's what Kenneth Jost had to say about it way back then. He was WHRB's Managing Editor. Cries had erupted at Berkeley, at Columbia, San Francisco State, but many people felt that it couldn't happen at Harvard. During the winter of 1968-69, however tensions rose as the Harvard Administration and the Students for a Democratic Society came into repeated conflicts. Then, on April 9, the radicals seized University Hall student radio station, WHRB-FM. These sounds capture the emotional reaction, the shock that followed the seizure, the outrage that followed the police bust the next day. Emotions played a vital part in determining the actions of all the groups in the crisis: students, faculty, and administration. Yet the striking aspect of that emotionalism was the extent to which it was channeled into constructive discussion about the larger issues which lay behind the crisis: the university's ties with the military, the university's relationship with the community, the distribution of power within the university, and -- most importantly -- the university's role in dealing with such problems as Vietnam, poverty, racism. If Harvard's crisis proved anything, it proved that even in emotional times people can reason together if they try. That fact alone should provide some optimism for the future. This year's most newsworthy issue is a living wage for Harvard Corporation's hourly employees. But that connects so many other issues also doesn't it? Sweatshops, the war on drugs, round-up getting into our drinking water, what else? They say they don't plan on directly addressing issues surrounding Sodexho Marriott's abuse of the new growing US prison labor movement until after they've won this living wage issue first. It's gonna be a long storm, and I mostly just want to know how many times Crimson students will have sung "We Shall Not Be Moved."
