buy a burger that is produced locally? you just voted for keeping your money in the community, helping local farmers, promoting the ethical treatment of animals, most likely antibiotic and hormone free, the most environmentally freindly meat, the product with the lowest carbon footprint and probably the tastiest and healthiest meat to give your family.

think about the choices you make, know where your food comes from, how it was raised and how it got to your plate. most importantly, vote accordingly!
This is BS. Are you still of the mind that McDonald's raises their animals on clear-cut Brazilian Rainforest?
