Well, i won't be eating there anymore.

Anyway, One of the issues brought up was child labor. that's something i am on the fence about certainly, but it's almost the same as the issue was for America 100 years ago. The whole reason it is beneficial to companies is that it's cheap labor, but honestly, a lot of those kids' families DO need the money, so we can't just ban them from working, they need living wages, and just boycotting those companies only encourages them to fire the kids and hire adults as someone said, and while it fixes one agitation, another problem grows.... llife's just a mass of gray, almost never black and white
