I don't know why people feel they have to rebel against McDonald's. They've been around at least forty years and I don't have a problem with them, nor does anyone I know. Perhaps they do chop down the rainforests, but name me one company that would put the environment before it's own profit. Every company is out there for itself and will do anything to maintain its hold on people.
As for the food itself - it's alright, but I must add that I only really go and eat there after I've been out drinking, and need a burger to settle my stomach for the night. But even when sober, I would not avoid the place.
Ah well, each to their own, just thought I'd give my 2c 
Is it just me or is your argument that "They all do it so don't pick on McDonalds."? I don't mind that as I think you are right, everyone does it. That is why I am against most companies - not just McDonalds. Maccy D's are the worst of a seriously bad bunch so enviromentalists tend to pick on them in the hope that it will encourage the others to change their ways as well.
Mind you, because most people think it is a losing battle it quickly becomes a losing battle (does that make sense? It does to me, so try harder!).
