Hannah Robertson, Age 9, Chastises McDonald's CEO Over Junkfood

Still in the mood of celebrating children, 9years old Hannah Robertson has become a celebrity owing to her unimaginable effrontery to confront the CEO of McDonalds, Don Thompson, at McDonald's annual shareholders meeting in Chicago on May 23.

- "There are things in life that aren't fair—like when your pet dies. I don't think it's fair when big companies try to trick kids into eating food."

- "It would be nice if you stopped trying to trick kids into wanting to eat your food all the time."

- "Mr. Thompson, don't you want kids to be healthy so they can live a long and healthy life?"
These are direct quotes from Hannah Robertson.

Thompson's response to Hannah?
"We don't sell junk food."
I look forward to a time like this in Nigeria when children's voices will count, when their opinions will be carefully observed and given due consideration.
