Prince Charles says ban McDonald's food
Chicago Tribune ^

LONDON -- Prince Charles suggested Tuesday on a visit to the United Arab Emirates that banning McDonald's fast food was crucial for improving people's diets, a British news agency reported.

Charles made the comments while visiting the Imperial College London Diabetes Center in Abu Dhabi for the launch of a public health campaign, The Press Association reported. "Have you got anywhere with McDonald's? Have you tried getting it banned? That's the key," Charles was quoted as asking one of the center's nutritionists.

A McDonald's spokesman, Nick Hindle, called the remark disappointing. He said other members of the royal family "have probably got a more up-to-date picture of us," alluding to reports that Charles' son, Prince Harry, was spotted eating a chicken burger at McDonald's in 2005.

I would more support the banning of Charles. Just as a for instnace, I think the faith could be better served without a Defender in his case.

This is fabulous.

We have heads of state in times of war worrying and lecturing us about the dangers of fast food.

We need another major terrorist attack or a global economic crisis to straighten peoples' heads out.

That is not the way the cat heard it from the original source. Here is the unedited report:

You Moron the food the English eat has many more calories that the food at McDonald's, (or it did when I was there)except unless you are of the upper class and then you eat cake.

Because we all know that McDonald's henchmen are rustling people
out of their beds at gunpoint and herding them into their restaurants.

.....[banning] crucial for improving people's diets

Micky Dees is just too tempting, eh Chucky? I mean, it would be too difficult for folks to just choose not to go -- a lot easier to just ban it altogether and eliminate that choice.

The diseased, collectivist mind on display yet again.

Yes I think the brits were the most fit people on the planet before McDonald's came to the UK. Maybe it's all Benny Hill's fault. LOL!
