:59:01
and this isn't unusual.
:59:03
We do this for oil.
We could do this for food, as well.

:59:06
And, as you can see,
it goes back up through the plumbing...

:59:10
and emerges in a McDonald's.
:59:13
Now, the part of this video that isn't
completed yet is the filtering process.

:59:17
There will be
a very well-rendered filtering...

:59:31
As you can see-this might answer
somebody's question from before,

:59:35
but at the McDonald's
in a developing country

:59:37
and, in fact,
in this country as well,

:59:39
you would be able to choose-
the number one, number two,

:59:42
number three,
number four, number five

:59:44
would no longer refer
to combinations of food,

:59:46
but rather just the number of times
the product had been recycled.

:59:52
We're lucky to be able to partner with
the World Trade Organization which,

:59:55
you know, has slightly different goals.
:59:57
Of course, McDonald's goals
are to profit and grow,

1:00:00
and we hope that we can provide
1:00:02
a nutritious and tasty product
in the process.

1:00:04
Our goals are to help McDonald's profit
and grow, and all other corporations.

1:00:08
I think you guys-
like, the WTO...

1:00:11
is kind of lacking kind of, like,
a human element, you know?

1:00:15
Like...if you saw-
have you ever seen starving people?

1:00:21
In pictures. Yes.
1:00:23
So, tell me, if you saw
somebody starving to death,

1:00:26
you would probably think a lot...
1:00:28
like, that would kind of hit you
in a sensitive place to say,

1:00:33
"Oh, maybe markets and money
and this and that don't really mean as much,

1:00:38
and, actually, feeding people
means a little bit more."

1:00:41
Well, it is true that there's
a personal side of it that...

1:00:44
I have to say, in the WTO
1:00:46
there are questions that we have
about this as human beings,

1:00:50
but we're not as subject...
1:00:52
we have a kind
of firmer grasp on theory.

1:00:54
We are able, fortunately,
1:00:57
to simply direct world trade
in a much more theoretical way...
