On Saturday June 19, 1997 McDonald's won one of the longest legal battles against two environmental campaigners - but at a cost. The judge ruled that some of the claims in the leaflet being handed out about McDonald's was untrue, but that McDonald's was responsible for targeting advertisement to children, for animal cruelty and for low wages. With this day in history in mind, the theme for today will be films on fast food-enjoy!
