We have a question regarding… (what’s your question regarding). Nutrition at McDonald’s and it’s from Hannah Robertson.

[Don Thompson, CEO of McDonald’s Corp.]
Hi, Hannah.

[Hannah Robertson – 9-Year-Old Girl]
Okay. My name is Hannah and I am 9 years old. My ( ) taught me that there are things in life that just aren’t fair. Like when your pet dies, or when you have to miss a special event because you have a cold.

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. 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. Then they will just keep bugging their parents to give them that food.

It isn’t fair that there are so many kids my age and younger that are getting really sick with diseases like diabetes and obesity – that is really sad.

It would be nice if you stopped trying to trick kids into wanting to eat your food all the time. I make cooking videos with my mom that show kids that eating healthy can be fun and yummy. We teach them that eating a rainbow of fruits and veggies makes kids healthier, smarter and happier because that is the truth. Mr. Thompson, don’t you want kids to be healthy so they can live a long and happy life?

Hannah thank you very much for your question. And by the way it was good to meet you out front, uh, a couple of things Hannah.

First off, we don’t sell junk food, Hannah, uh, my kids also eat McDonald’s. When they were about your size, to my son who is with us today, who was a little bit bigger, he was a football player, and also they cook with me at home. I love to cook. We cook a lot of fruits and veggies at home. We sell a lot of fruits and veggies at McDonald’s and are trying to sell even more. With the apples we introduced into the Happy Meals, we sell different fruits and different varieties that I was telling you a little earlier about. Things we’d like to introduce even more, there’s an infinity for them like Kiwi on a stick and Pineapples and we serve side-salads. And we serve those for a 1$ dollar on our dollar 1$ menu and they are very affordable. And so there is a lot of things that we’d done, our Chicken Nugget Happy Meals, Fat Free Milk, uh, both, we also just changed the chocolate – we are making a lot of changes at McDonald’s and will continue to. I think it’s, really great that you wanna continue eating more fruits and more vegetables.

I honestly hope even more kids do. I know as my kids came up sometimes I had to nudge ’em a little bit more to eat some more fruits and vegetables but they did eat quite a bit of fruits and vegetables and that’s what we served in our household as well, so. Thanks so much for the question Hannah.
