The Executives Who Run The Fast Food Industry Are Not Bad Men. They Are Businessmen. They Will Sell Free-range, Organic, Grass-fed Hamburgers If You Demand It. They Will Sell Whatever Sells At A Profit.

I Really Like Visiting Schools, But What I Tell Students Isn't Anywhere Near As Interesting To Me As What They Tell Me.

So For Everything I Do, I'm Very Clear About What I'm Doing, And I Tell People What It's About. They Get A Sense Of What I'm Thinking.
