Prince Charles, 'food expert,' wants McD's ban
"Have you got anywhere with McDonald's? Have you tried getting it banned? That's the key," Prince Charles was quoted as asking one of the center's nutritionists.I saw this exchange in an article about Prince Charles' visit to the United Arab Emirates. I have had my issues with McDonald's over the years. But nobody outside Windsor Castle thinks banning McDonald's is the answer. I suppose it would be difficult to expect royalty to understand such concepts, though if the late Queen mother was still alive, she would knocked some sense into her grandson. McDonald's, of course, rose to its defense. And perhaps, Charles was speaking metaphorically about all fast food. The good news about Charles is that he is a significant fan of organic food and set up a farm in 1986 that does not use artificial pesticides or fertilizers. The advice for Charles, and for anyone else in the royal family, is to talk positively about organic food, healthy food, and not make broad, non-viable statements.
