Fast-food company McDonald's is being sued by a Russian woman after their 'aggressive' advertising showing delicious burgers allegedly made her break her fast during Lent in 2019.
Ksenia Ovchinnikova, an Orthodox Christian from Omsk, Russia claims that seeing McDonald's adverts made her break her fast for Lent in 2019. At the time, she was attempting to stay away from meat and other animal products.
For Orthodox Christians, following the Julian calendar, Lent is a strict period as they are expected to stay away from meat, meat by-products, poultry, eggs, and dairy for the entire period.
Ovchinnikova claims that she hadn't eaten meat in a month when the fast-food chain's delicious-looking ad banners made her break her fast.
