Hyman, principal with Chicago law firm Much Shelist Freed Denenberg Ament &#038; Rubenstein, P.C. announced that several prominent members of the vegetarian community filed a notice of appeal related to a suit against fast food giant McDonald&#8217;s. At issue in the appeal is a recent court ruling that allows the allocation of US$6 million in settlement funds to be directed to groups which do not uphold the values of vegetarianism, as required by the settlement agreement. The suit attacked McDonald&#8217;s use of beef by-products in the preparation of McDonald&#8217;s French fries and hash browns.<BR><br \/>\n<BR><br \/>\nSome members of the vegetarian community (appellants) are not appealing the settlement itself, but assert that the $6 million distribution subverts the spirit and the letter of the settlement agreement by improperly directing funds to non-vegetarian groups, groups hostile to vegetarianism and groups in limited size and geographical reach. It is expected that the appeal could take more than two years to be argued and a decision rendered. <BR><br \/>\n<BR><br \/>\nFor more information, go to &#8220;source&#8221; above and click on the additional articles at the bottom of the page.<BR><br \/>\n<\/P> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SourceCHICAGO, U.S.A., June 18, 2003: Michael B.
