    Pag bumisita si Prince Charles sa Pinas, tago muna ang Jollibee....

    But seriously, diabetes is the only one mentioned... aside from that, it was reported na obesity and heart issues ang effect.


    Prince Charles: Ban McDonald's to improve diet
    02/28/2007 | 12:32 PM

    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's comments came while visiting the Imperial College London Diabetes Center in Abu Dhabi for the launch of a public health campaign, Britain's Press Association news agency reported.

    "Have you got anywhere with McDonald's? Have you tried getting it banned? That's the key," Charles asked one of the center's nutritionists, according to the news agency.

    A McDonald's spokeswoman called the remark disappointing. "This appears to be an off-the-cuff remark, in our opinion," she said on condition of anonymity, in line with company practice in Britain.

    The Oak Brook, Ill.-based McDonald's Corp. took steps last year to display nutrition facts on its packaging and vary its menu to counter charges that its food is unhealthy and contributes to obesity. There are 25 McDonald's franchises in the United Arab Emirates.

    Charles, who is first in line to the British throne, is an active advocate of organic food. He set up a farm on his Highgrove Estate that does not use artificial pesticides or fertilizers in 1986.

    The prince was in the United Arab Emirates with his wife, Camilla, as part of a tour of Gulf countries.

    The United Arab Emirates has the world's second highest number of diabetes cases per capita. One out of five people aged 20 to 79 already suffers from the illness, while 40 percent of the population is at risk for developing it. - AP

    What a stupid statement made by the mouse-eared dork...

    Did McDonald's put a gun in front of every fat-ass who chose to eat there???

    its all a matter of discipline, the more you take a candy away from a kid the more will the kid crave for it, but if you literally show what candies can do to harm then make your statement...

    fastfoods are fastfoods, though unhealthy we need them we crave for them, what these big companies could do to help alleviate public health issues is to offer a better alternative on their menus, switch to a more healthier substitute, for example you go to mcdo to have lunch, you could remove the chicken skin and eat the whites, you can even order ribs or breast part, for burgers you can forego with lavish mayo, and put ketchup and mustard instead, though still sinful but lesser evil.

    its a matter of customer education and proper choice and selection of what and what not to eat=)

    Naku kapag pumunta yan dito sa Pinas hindi lang Jollibee ang baban kundi pati ibang fast food establishment.
    Para sa akin yung mga tao dapat ang sisihin hindi yung mcdo.
