Getting for my formal thank you from McDonald's but added that no doubt a quick at a boy from the former McDonald's USA CEO address.
First off Ed you are welcome please enough for the compliments.
But what do you -- -- its dust up that now seems to have settled down.
Broad daylight as -- major McDonald's shareholder thank you so much.
Our good Belgium count jock on -- keep his nose in his own business.
Mean that is -- organization and there will not -- women off to ski jumping competition.
And he claims it's not sexual bias come on fix your own house McDonald's does great work around the world 36 years -- sponsoring the Olympics.
He wants a comment on obesity and nutrition and health.
He -- -- our dietitian and knows something about food McDonald's does a great job and I'm sick of it and by the way I don't way it has you know he's not exactly mr.

So chocolate is fine.
Double quarter pounders are not seems a little bit hypocritical but be that -- -- today.
This food fight is over but it any other still sound a bad aftertaste of its own thing -- -- Absolutely -- -- I don't think it's over I think this is just more than -- sense this caused by our apologist in chief Obama.
Just apologizing for the behavior of America the way we can -- -- were the greatest country on the face to the -- All the rescue folks -- -- wise up and try to emulate us.
You know what's gonna -- -- to do about the -- McDonald's does the but I know you're compromising what you consider and then Nazis I don't wanna get -- trouble and unloaded nearly.
A but I do notice that -- They when -- after McDonald's -- after Coca-Cola.
And I think what they were fishing around for -- some other sponsor to come in and switch and they found that you know these guys paid tens of millions of dollars -- for decades no one else has their financial muscle.
To replace them so we have to come crawl back and begging it is -- Ideas don't think the guy thought through what it was blocked everybody doesn't know what he's talking about had to.
Visceral gut reaction because -- read something -- newspaper.
The last five years in just it's crazy.
You know McDonald's does involve the Olympics because they believe in the Olympic movement into global company.
These great athletes -- good work and work for four years to get ready that's the story.
This story is not the sponsors the stories the athletes come on let's let's focus on the right stuff.
But you're also being very modest thanks to your work and and you've been involved it directly and indirectly reveal -- -- -- McDonald's money made possible for kids out of nowhere to get a shot at that.
Brass -- -- gold medal whatever you want to call it so.
That will leave that aside but I am wondering about the political correctness of all of this a a foreign body.
More -- taking on too I found it curious American concerns corporate behemoths.
And ignoring those who might be involved in equally if you want to call this controversy -- foodstuff.
I think that is what stood out here and that is what came back.
To bite the IOC -- -- I'd I think you're absolutely correct that your monologue was tongue in cheek the full of a lot of seriousness.
In Nevada and holding with serious decision is no strategy at all I was.
It's going to the masses how I -- the Olympics but I digress gonna.

This political correctness the politics of at all you know we got people buying in Syria effort for no other reason than that -- lust for freedom.
There is a story mister commissioner -- president yachtsman jock.
The -- what would you comment on that if you're worried about the people of the world.
Talk about terrorism talk about hunger talk about something and they're really means something stand up for -- them.
-- you know it comes on the heels of the European Commission president member a few weeks ago he was blasting the United States banks sort of problem in Europe.
Even gone so far as to say out the date contributed to the contagion that is now pretty much that gripped all of Europe and I'm thinking.
You know this guy had his druthers he would.
You know put this entire hundred years war on Bank of America a -- Enough is enough.
Maybe he'd he'd like so many aristocratic Europeans are just -- -- debt.
I brought as far as I know we didn't invade Greece and caused their problem they did all by themselves although the people in California doing a pretty good job back -- -- -- Greece now you know you're right about that.
And always good having in my friend then you're good humor at -- see the former McDonald's USA.
