It's like when you split a crave case with a friend. The toy that comes with it is the massive pool of shit that you blast into your toilet later on.
kids wont stop wanting Mc'ds because they wont get a toy ffs. parents just need to be more responsible and not take their kids there so much

Telling businesses they are not allowed to do the things they have invested money in and made money at.
Sort of why there is a wagon train like exodus from the state by companies large and small.
Good luck with the power rate increase for a green economy L.A. See you!

I've got a nephew in law who will ONLY only eat McDonalds -and hotdogs. He's concentration camp skinny & now 18. Back when I met my (at the time) girl friend's parents (9 years ago) we all went to one of those dinner and a show japanese grill restaurants. His mom showed up a few minutes late with a bag of McDonalds chicken nuggets and fries for him. I asked my wife 'what's the deal with twiggy over there?' She said he won't eat anything else. Great parenting. He'd been that way for as long as she could remember. Sad.

Instead of the toy you should get an extra mcnugget.
more to health then just weight ...
... we should allow lead in toys as long as there is a label, good parenting will them out of the hands of children

There is a difference. I do not believe the government has a right to legislate in this field. Now if the FDA came out and said that these meals were a health hazard and should be banned.... I'd defer.jsnipy wrote:

I like some of those toys.
I think it's great when the government decides what I should or shouldn't eat.
If it wasn't for them i would eat at McD's 3 times a day 7 days a week... Thank you for
watching out for me govt.

I ate plenty of Happy meals growing up as a kid, played lots of Atari 2600, NES, Super NES ect as well. Watched lots of TV too. I also played outside all the time. And played tons of sports too. It's not McDonald's fault. Kids today are just mostly fat, lazy and spoiled with not much discipline. Parents are up there on the blame list.ruisleipa wrote:

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.
but... you cant expect the parents to tell their kid no can you? i mean, parents arent supposed to teach their kids things... they're supposed to be understanding friends that help you through life right?CC-Marley wrote:

probably
Hell yeah! I used to be out in the street until after dark every night playing football or baseball with the other kids in my neighborhood. You NEVER see that kind of thing anymore. Parents are so terrified of 'bad people' harming their kids that they essentially discourage them from leaving the house.CC-Marley wrote:

Banning happy meal toys doesn't accomplish anything, nor does it curtail any meaningful product choice...

When I was a kid, the toy was an effective lure, but I stayed slim because I actually, you know, ran around at recess and didn't eat junk food constantly at home.Christbane wrote:

tbh, kids will just bug their parents to drive them to a McD's that has toys.
...and South Park did it.

Considering the prevalence of some seriously idiotic children nowadays (please don't ask me to cite examples, I wouldn't know where to start), one has to wonder if parents (generally) can be relied upon any more to actually manage their children. With the intellectual state of America's youth at horrendous levels, I'd say the parents need all the help they can get.
Besides, you can still have your goddamn Happy Meal, the only difference is that you wouldn't get a glorified hunk of plastic with it. Big whoop.

Oh, and if I was still a kid, it would be no small whoop that I didn't get a worthless windup Luigi on a wheeled cloud. That's why you buy a happy meal and not from the dollar menu, because of the toy.
Without it, it's worthless.

guys i think the law targets the kind of 'evil marketing' and cheap tactics more so than aiming to enforce any sort of dietary regime.
kind of like banning the tobacco industry from sponsoring formula one racing.
you're free to eat what you want but they just dont want companies using any form of subliminal or questionable methods to sell their calorific feasts
