José Bové

McDonald's, which started in France really in the eighties, Burger King tried and failed.

Now, McDonald's is a big issue, and José Bové, who came to Yale a couple of years ago, José Bové is a guy who Now he became identified with the struggle against McDonald's.

He actually lived two years in L.A., though he speaks English.

I wasn't here when he came.

Now, McDonald's has tried to compromise in some ways.

If you go get a McDonald's, and I won't go into places, I shouldn't say that because I'm recording this, but I haven't been in years in France, but they had these little salads with a few pieces of goat's cheese in it to go along with the two million calorie a burger, and all that.

But what José Bové did is that he and his friends went up and broke up, didn't hurt anybody, but they sort of trashed a McDonald's in Millau, which is in Aveyron in the south, right near this huge, huge bridge, the biggest span bridge in Europe.

And, of course, he went on trial and he became a presidential candidate, and I guess my daughter says he's a really great guy.
