...cause, in May, was railing against McDonald's for using cow fat in French fries. Shiva, 49, calls herself an eco-feminist. At one moment she scolds multinational corporations in street protests, and the next she advises their CEOs on how to be good global citizens. Born in a Himalayan village and trained as a physicist, Shiva has taken up issues like logging and pesticide use through her New Delhi-based Research Foundation for Science, Technology and Ecology...
