Another estimate is that 80 percent of all acts of religious discrimination in the world today are directed at Christians.

Yet Another Reason To Avoid McDonald's - Your Chicken Order May Have An Unexpected Surprise
If you're still not convinced you should avoid McDonald's, here is yet another reason.
