“Mr. Thompson, don’t you want kids to be healthy so they can live a long and healthy life?” This is how CEO Don Thompson was seriously grilled by a 9-year-old girl at Thursday’s annual shareholder’s meeting in Oak Brook, Ill. Hannah Robertson stood and lectured the CEO of one of the world’s biggest brands. “I don’t think it’s fair when big companies try to trick kids into eating food. It isn’t fair that so many kids my age are getting sick,” she said – blaming McDonald’s for unfairly targeting kids with advertisements for food that isn’t good for them.
We certainly hope Mr. Thompson learned a little something, McDonald’s needs kids more than kids need McDonald’s.
