Britain's Prince Charles is passionate about food. He is especially interested in organic foods and in healthy eating, and he even has his own company, Duchy Originals, which specializes in organic and other sustainable products. Like others with similar viewpoints, Charles is not a fan of the fast food industry. Unlike others with similar viewpoints, however, Prince Charles seems to have a more radical view of what should be done. He recently suggested that McDonald's be banned.
A spokesman from McDonald's said that the company was "disappointed" by Charles' remarks, and noted that many members of the royal family, including the prince's sons, have eaten at the fast food chain.
Immediately, critics pointed out that many of the foods in the Duchy Originals line were, nutritionally, worse than Big Macs. The organic Duchy Originals Cornish pasty "contains 264 calories per 100g compared to the burger's 229 calories, and 5.5g of saturated fat as opposed to the Big Mac's 4.14g." Funnily, a spokesman for Duchy Originals said that no matter what the nutritional content of their products, good or bad, "It is up to consumers to decide whether to buy them."
Perhaps they think that customers in McDonalds restaurants are tied down and forced to eat french fries.
