Yesterday McDonald's announced it would be "providing more information about the specific source of the natural flavoring" it uses. However, today McDonald's refused to provide a spokesperson to CNN for an interview. Yesterday's announcement came after vegetarians filed lawsuits and some Hindus smashed windows upon discovering that McDonald's french fries cooked in oil were also cooked in meat flavorings. Speaking of "natural" food, European McDonald's have responded to consumer demand and removed all genetically engineered food, but McDonald's USA is using GE foods -- including soy, corn & BGH milk -- with no consumer labeling.
