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...

1:01:01
in collaboration with our colleagues
at the largest corporations.

1:01:04
So...you know. Yes, probably,
if I went to these countries,

1:01:10
I'd feel...I'd think about things
a little differently, perhaps.

1:01:16
But, at the same time, I don't think
I would forget all my schooling.

1:01:19
I don't think I would forget
all these theories and so on.

1:01:22
So, perhaps one day I'll do that.
1:01:25
This is a money-maker, correct?
1:01:27
Yes. Well, it's a money-maker,
starvation-solver, sure.

1:01:31
How much did McDonald's pay you to
come here and speak this garbage to us?

1:01:35
Did I see a mouse with an ear
growing out of its back?

1:01:38
How are you going to get around
the cultural and legal implications

1:01:41
of cannibalism and basically
asking us to recycle shit?
