Minister Litzman urges McDonald's boycott for health reasons
Health Minister Yaakov Litzman on Tuesday called on Israelis to downsize their consumption of junk food and boycott McDonald's.
Litzman told a cardiologists' conference that McDonald's is "out."
"There is no need to eat junk food. Not in our country," he said.
Litzman urged educating children not to eat junk food and sweets and stressed that the Health Ministry will focus on "prevention" medicine this year to curb disease.
