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?

No, but there's a shocking similarity between McFood and the Koch's - both suck. HopeHoops Jun 2012 #5

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