A nine-year-old girl criticized McDonald

周四上午,九岁的汉娜出现在伊利诺州举行的麦当劳股东大会上,在大会上她正面炮轰了这家著名快餐巨头的首席执行官唐•汤普森.

The nine-year-old showed it off at a McDonald's shareholders meeting in Illinois on Thursday morning when she cornered the fast-food chain's CEO, Don Thompson.

汉娜在健康饮食方面受到了非常好的教育：她的母亲是一位儿童营养倡导主义者.在大会上的问答环节中,汉娜问道："汤普森先生,难道你不想让孩子们可以吃得很健康,过长寿健康的生活么？"

Hannah has been well schooled in healthy eating; her mother is a children's nutritional activist. "Mr. Thompson, don't you want kids to be healthy so they can live a long and healthy life?" she asked during the meeting's question and answer session.

她认为麦当劳利用广告向目标对象孩子们推销食品.她在发言中表示："我认为大公司试图欺骗孩子们吃这些垃圾食品非常不公平.在我这个年纪的孩子很多都生病了,真的不公平."

"I don't think it's fair when big companies try to trick kids into eating food. It isn't fair that so many kids my age are getting sick," she said, suggesting the company targets children with its advertising.

汤普森正面回答了这位小姑娘的质疑："我们不卖垃圾食品,我的孩子们也吃麦当劳."而且他表示麦当劳也卖水果,比如在儿童套餐中就是苹果片.

But Thompson did not falter with his response. "We don't sell junk food," he said, "My kids also eat McDonald's." He added that McDonald sells fruit, such as apple slices, in children's meals.
