Oh California, why must you be so crazy? Especially San Francisco. The article is pretty self explanatory, but this statement just made me go "...what the hell?"
"A proposed city ordinance would ban McDonald's from putting toys in Happy Meals unless it adds fruit and vegetable portions and limits calories. "
You can't de-happy the Happy Meal. It serves no purpose. The toy is the only reason to spend that much money on the overpriced little boxes of horror. Considering that a Happy Meal and regular meal cost nearly the same, this is just a low blow to the kiddies. Some people will agree and think adding fruits and/or veggies and limiting calories is a good idea, but does anyone really think a child will eat the fruits or vegetables? It's a pain in the rear to get a kid to eat those things with a normal home cooked meal. I highly doubt they'll eat them just because they came from a fast food joint.
What's happening to kid's lives these days? No more violent early morning cartoons, safety gear out the butt, and now, no more happy in the Happy Meals. They're kids people, not puppets. Let them have some fun before life kicks them in the shins.
I personally hope this ordinance fails. Silly California.
