Hannah Robertson, a nine-year-old girl from British Columbia, accused McDonalds of trying to fool kids into making unhealthy choices. She attended an annual shareholder's meeting.

"Something that I don't think is fair is when big companies try to trick kids into eating food that isn't good for them by using toys and cartoon characters," Robertson read during the question and answer session, according to Yahoo! News. "If parents haven't taught their kids about healthy eating, then the kids probably believe that junk food is good for them because it might taste good. Mr. Thompson, don't you want kids to be healthy so they can live a long and happy life?"
