Any serious anti-Americanism in Germany would start with boycotting US products but KO and MCD revenues are growing in Germany. A not so felicitous neocon posing by Döpfner. Anti-Americanism doesn't extend to boycotting American products anywhere, not even in the Arab world.

It's hard for me to imagine boycotting Coca-cola, easy to imagine boycotting McDonald's. Here in the USA I do drink Coke but don't eat McDonalds, I belong to the Slow Food movement. slowfood.com Not to mention the Chowhounds. chowhound.com There are, of course, indigenous versions of Coca-Cola. If you are Latino, Inca-Cola is well-loved, and at the local Peruvian chicken joints (yum!) the patrons pay more for Inca-Cola than they do Coca-Cola. Around here, people eat Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, Indian, Mexican, Central American, Ethiopian, Caribbean, Middle Eastern, Italian, Greek, even French, but hardly a German restaurant to be seen. Wonder why?
