Today the -- -- CEO telling them the cons on going anyway.

Not the news that's a professor John bonds have really wanted to hear somebody negatives.

Well as a guy behind doing the fast -- the -- suits against McDonald's in the supersize me movie.

I'd love to see -- -- -- -- McDonald retired or rather kill a -- like we killed off Joe Camel.

You don't he goes into schools as he does as a quote health ambassador and seriously kids.

You're getting is much junk food as you want as long as you exercise enough which is a lie unless you wanna play eight hours -- volleyball.

It's like Joe Camel going into schools and don't get yeah argue -- shelters don't inhale.

You have a Joe Camel only sells one product right.

And Ronald McDonald -- sell -- product does and he's as solid -- younger audience not wearing McDonald's product in your.

You're bringing up irrelevant -- approach the bottom line is already -- don't anticipate -- back there's always a -- aren't things.

Then burgers and Fries -- -- parliament but does it sell more than.

He sells to kids and you and I know the when the kids go in there -- they're not going for the salads and not gone for the other stuff.

They're gone for the fattening food he's a major factor in getting kids to to eat those foods.

And for why don't you just made the comparison to Joe Camel equating.

-- only one way to finish for a minute.

Because he's a liability because there's a lawsuit to lawsuit pending against.

McDonald's right now and the key element is whether they're appealing to kids and when you're using a cartoon character -- Ronald McDonald or.

Captain Crunch -- Count Dracula -- you're you're obviously appealing to kids so he's a legal liability as well as antiquated.

Let's kill him off like we -- Joe Camel.

All right so.

All of a sudden now when you guys first raised your concerns and problems with did the menu and McDonald's and and the burger kings and all these others and they expanded its -- include foods you sound more correct -- more politics.

No it wasn't that's why we went to congress we got a when he walked -- -- didn't have to get rid of the murders and -- Let me finish nearly got congress to pass a law requiring all fast food restaurants to post the calorie count and they -- very and they did so now -- going to.

And they're going to -- know where it's also it and and did you what let's step and that now you want it Ronald out.

And then I'll tell you want all of you know if you let us just how does it what we've.

You listen and I'll tell you we are using zoning to keep McDonald's foods away from schools were getting Ronald McDonald out of schools worry.

Never should have been in the first place we may have appropriate warnings on fattening food just as we have on other dangerous products.

There are lots of things or using the same tactics of using.

Legal action against obesity just as we did against smoking.

I would if they started selling while McDonald's one of the bids of just selling yogurt and south.

That's all they did I think that was -- at -- but -- -- look at -- and don't let -- -- because I don't really stupid.

Then why don't we just talked about right now real -- -- in the U fingering a clown because you're making some political statement here.

They're gonna what is shout you never learn any little completely shut you never learned inhale you can't tell you the -- we're doing is you never learn anything.

If they -- When things are getting them I'll listen to calorie -- -- -- -- -- from schools John and out of school that John revealing that seed is everything you want the -- -- The lighter fare that healthier -- they've played powers you wanted.

To parents to decide what their kids are going to -- You're still saying not enough not about.
