Silicon valley bans Happy Meals, and others:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/ap … an-obesity

Silicon Valley, the undisputed leader of the technology revolution, is seeking to add a new accolade to its reputation by becoming the leader of the fight against obesity induced by fast food.

Elected officials in Santa Clara County, the area to the south of San Francisco that covers most of Silicon Valley, have introduced a law banning restaurants from offering toys with any children's meals that fail to meet national health criteria.

In other words, the Happy Meal is for the chop. It is believed to be the first such law anywhere in the world.

Bloody good idea I reckon. Slap some more tax on those babies and see MCD's lose some of their cholesterol allure

Probably a good idea, I guess, but I seriously doubt that it will do all that much.

The sick are the greatest danger for the healthy; it is not from the strongest that harm comes to the strong, but from the weakest.

i would've thought the constitution would allow for products to be banned locally for health reasons, but i dunno.

Doubt it.

People have the choice to eat whatever they want. Fuck, they might as well ban soul food.

People will still have the choice to eat whatever they want. They just banned the toys that are used as an attraction in selling unhealthy food.

Maccas here serves juice and pasta in the Happy Meals (optional).

So many kids must rage when their parents get them the shit options.

Its nice of them to try and parent your children for you. I guess if you're too stupid to feed your kid right, what the hell. It's not like little johnny waddled his fat ass into mcshit to buy some food for himself, mommy and/or daddy took him. McD can just stick a toy machine right next to the front door and charge for them.

btw sucks for these kids, i loved getting a little car or whatever dumb shit they gave you. They came in handy too, I used a bunch for a diorama in h.s. All I had to do was hang on to them for 10 years for them to appreciate.

This is dumb, dumb, dumb. Be a responsible parent. It works far better than the Government doing it for you.

What happens if someone thinks it's a good idea to round up all the Jews and put them into US death camps? f* the constitution, right?
