Boy, 7, writes a letter asking kids to boycott McDonald's Happy Meals and his reason is impressive

A 7-year-old boy has started a revolution after he asked his fellow students to boycott McDonald's Happy Meals. William Weir wrote an open letter to McDonald's demanding they ditch plastic toys which are given away with their happy meals because they pollute the environment. William told his mum Carrie, 41, that he wanted to write to the burger chain after she told him how bad the toys were for the planet. He went on to write the letter and his mother promised to send it to McDonald's and also share it in some online sites.

The round follows a  $1.1 billion round  led last year by SoftBank’s Vision Fund, which Roivant now says was closed at a post-money valuation of $5.6 million, though it didn’t necessarily look like money well spent at the time. To wit, r oughly one month after the financing ...
