Is McDonald's owned by Koch Brothers industries?

We just received a card at the Children's Library opening for a free ice cream cone courtesy of McDonald's and Koch Organization McDonald's Restaurants. Will have to stop frequenting McDonald's for my coffee breaks, now. Does anyone have the site about how to boycott the Koch Brother's enterprises?

2. I think the family of Ray and Joan Croc own McDonalds. Koch Bros might just be a one-time

joint venture.

3. Maybe Koch owns a lot of local franchises?

4. It's a public company, with no significant shareholder

They might own some franchises, though fast food doesn't seem like their industry.

5. No, but there's a shocking similarity between McFood and the Koch's - both suck.
