Would people who eat (and feed their kids) junk food from places like
McDonald's care if the ingredients were slopped together with Chinese
slave labor?

Just curious.

I last ate a McDonald's hamburger sometime around 1978.
They could use prisoners to make them, as far as I care.
Both for labor and for meat.

Depends on whether their kids end up dead presumably.

While I certainly did not buy anything there, I did check out the happy meal
toy while in Beijing. The toys can be very cool, and can do very well on
eBay in the US. Anyway, I suppose their McDonald's is slopped together with
Chinese slave labor. Or maybe McDonald's is a great job in China. Who
knows.

Certainly. No reason to assume that what you have learned about (that the
food was made in China) is the only thing that matters. Most likely, there
are 100 others, much more significant (such as, what is really in the food),
only you don't know about them yet. More accurate question would be "should
people eat the food made by big American corporation".

I don't think there's much range beef in China. I'd wonder what was really
in the patty, although a big Mac in Hong Kong seemed pretty normal.
I think a McDonald's burger would be OK in Vietnam, though given their great
cuisine it's hard to imagine choosing that.

But there is plenty of melamine in Chuna. They love putting it in foodstuff
