Prince Charles says he knows the "key” to improving unhealthy eating habits – ban McDonald’s. Charles attended the Monday launch of a public health awareness campaign at the Imperial College London Diabetes Centre in Abu Dhabi, and asked nutritionist Nadine Tayara: "Have you got anywhere with McDonald’s? Have you tried getting it banned? That’s the key.”
Charles is a strong advocate of organic food, according to Britain’s Evening Standard. A spokesman traveling with the Prince issued a statement on Tuesday, saying: "The Prince of Wales has for a long time advocated the importance of a balanced diet, especially for children.” McDonald’s described Charles’ remarks as "disappointing.” A spokesperson said: "This appears to be an off-the-cuff remark, in our opinion. It does not reflect our menu or where we are as a business.” One Evening Standard reader sent this comment: "Yes, ban McDonald’s and put traditional British food back on the top of the nutritional pyramid. Fish ‘n’ chips anyone?”
