World's first vegetarian McDonald's to open at Indian holy sites

[n2doc]

McDonald's will open outlets serving all-vegetarian menus for the first time at two of India's most-visited pilgrimage sites.

The news came on September 4, the same day that international sandwich chain Subway opened its first all-vegetarian outlet in the Indian state of Punjab.

McDonald's will open near the Golden Temple in Amritsar by mid-2013. Its second vegetarian outlet will be in the small town of Katra in the state of Jammu and Kashmir, at the base of the mountain shrine Vaishno Devi.

A holy site for Sikhs, the Golden Temple hosts thousands of visitors per day from around the world, while Katra welcomes around 8 million pilgrims a year en route to the Hindu shrine.

1. That's nice, but the profits go towards slaughtering cows by the million.

And McDonalds and other fast food makers are spreading heart disease, diabetes, and mediocrity throughout the world.

2. Besides turning the holy sites into meretricious faux golden arches.
