  • Don Thompson, CEO of McDonald's Corp., found himself on the grill after a 9-year-old girl accused the fast food giant of trying to "trick kids into eating food that isn't good for them."

  • Hannah Robertson, the 9-year-old girl who grilled Don Thompson, the CEO of McDonald's Corp., at a shareholder meeting for marketing fast food to children said she wasn't impressed with his response.

    "I don't think he answered it very well, because he just kept saying the same things over and over again like, 'We don't market to kids and we don't sell junk food,'" Robertson said.

    Thompson found himself in the hotseat at the annual shareholder meeting Thursday in Oak Brook, Ill., the company's headquarters, when he was confronted by the 9-year-old, who had flown in from Kelowna, British Columbia with her mother for the meeting.

    "Something that I don't think is fair is when big companies try to trick kids into eating food that isn't good for them by using toys and cartoon characters," Hannah said during the question and answer part of the meeting. "If parents haven't taught their kids about healthy eating then the kids probably believe that junk food is good for them because it might taste good."

  • I see the nutritionistas aren't afraid to use cute little children to push their agenda. Shame on Don Thompson for forcing little Hannah's parents to take her to McDonald's! Because of people like the evil Mr. Thompson, parents all over the world must capitulate to their children's every whim.
    "This principle is most certain: The non-Christian cannot in any way be Pope. The reason for this is that he cannot be head of what he is not a member. Now, he who is not a Christian is not a member of the Church, and a manifest heretic is not a Christian, as is clearly taught by St. Cyprian, St. Athanasius, St. Augustine, St. Jerome, and others. Therefore, the manifest heretic cannot be Pope." -- St. Robert Bellarmine

  • One doesn't have to approve of McDonald's to disapprove of sending a child to grandstand about happy meal toys.

  • If a cheap plastic toy is enough to make you want to eat too many burgers and get fat, your life was going to turn out shitty come what may.

    Those Happy meal toys are crap.  Spend the money on some ammo, shoot some bottles or cans and make yourself a sandwich.
