Not a Burger King
Yesterday, England’s Prince Charles suggested that McDonald’s (MCD) fast food should be banned to help improve people’s diets. According to press reports - he asked a nutritionist at the Imperial College London Diabetes Center in Abu Dhabi, “Have you got anywhere with McDonald’s? Have you tried getting it banned? That’s the key.” Personally, I don’t dislike the royal, but I don’t care for pseudo-politicians who determine which foods should be banned. By the way, he didn’t single out the UK burger chain named Wimpy but let’s just assume he was not picking on the bigger American target. However, there might have been a show of respect for other royalty by not suggesting a ban on Burger King or Dairy Queen. I respect Prince Charles, his advocacy of organic food and healthy diets to reduce illnesses like diabetes but this was an odd comment. I guess we won’t be seeing Ronald McDonald getting knighted by King Charles any time soon.
