    As far as I know, McDonald's has never advertised itself as a vegetarian 
restaurant. I have Hindu friend's and when we go out to eat, we only go to 
vegetarian Indian restaurants, where they are very careful to ask about how 
dishes are prepared in addition to what the ingredients are. Some of the 
stricter adherents, do not dine anywhere that does not cater to their dietary 
guidelines. I've seen my friends who are lactose intolerant go through the 
same steps. 
    In reference to your comments about Mickey D's forcing you to eat 
something, well, I never saw guards in the drive-thru with submachine guns 
forcing people to order and then eat the fries. Now that vegetarians know 
that the natural flavoring includes beef, they have the option not to order 
the fries. 
    I believe that since McDonald's has disclosed that beef in one of the 
natural flavorings in their fries, it is ridiculous to burden our civil 
system with another frivolous lawsuit.
