EDIBLE ETHICS

McDonald’s Twitter Promotion goes Terribly Wrong.

A twitter campaign by McDonald’s backfired when people started sharing the wrong kind of #McDStories (via @bored2tears).

McDonald’s kicked things off on Thursday with the hashtag #MeetTheFarmers, in a campaign meant to draw attention to the brand’s guarantee of fresh produce.

Later in the day, however, the burger company used a dangerously vague hashtag: “When u make something w/ pride, people can taste it,” McD potato supplier #McDstories

People took this hashtag and started talking trash. The Daily Mail gathered some of the best:



Edible Ethics is a collection of videos, articles, book and documentary reviews about clean food and clean energy. This blog is a personal reflection of my journey through Senior Thesis at Parsons: The New School for Design.

In the end, I hope to consolidate facts and figures into a comprehensive information graphic that makes the food-system transparent to anyone who cares about their personal health and the environment's health. Enjoy!
