I'm no fan of McDonalds, but I can see why they got upset over that 
first leaflet - lots of scary propoganda with absolutely no
reference material to back it up
eg
"McDonald's and Burger King are two of the many US corporations using 
lethal poisons to destroy vast areas of Central American rainforest to 
create grazing pastures for cattle to be sent back to the States as 
burgers and pet food, and to provide fat-food packaging materials. 
(Don't be fooled by McDonald's saying they use recycled paper: only a 
tiny per cent of it is. The truth is it takes 800 square miles of forest 
just to keep them supplied with paper for one year. Tons of this end up 
litteing the cities of 'developed' countries.)"
