Drought affecting western state cattle ranches, growing knowledge of the heart attacks, strokes, cancer, Alzheimer's etc associated with cow flesh consumption, the animal rights movement's critical mass... some of the factors in McDonald's declining stock performance. State pension funds, hedge funds and mutual funds invested in mammal flesh are at risk.
