I feel sorry for all those little kids in San Fran...their rights to the toys that came with Meals Formerly Known as Happy have been ripped away!
Now if they want a toy, they will probably have to be force-fed some heinous tofu concoction with baked unsalted pita chips and nonfat chocolate milk. (What's the use of non-fat chocolate milk? I don't get it!) I suppose they WILL be given some fruit and veggies -- that have been soaked in something to keep them from discoloring while they are shipped around the country...
I'm sure the franchise owners really appreciate this great new marketing strategy, courtesy of the SanFran powers-that-be... "We have the right to tell you what to sell, because it is our job to save the people from you, you selfish, profit-mongering, health endangerers!"
Not to mention that it seems to be the government's aim to save the people from themselves. The ignorant masses can't be trusted to make good choices for their children when a toy is involved.
Face it SanFran council, no one goes to McD's expecting to eat health food. In fact, we go there because it is NOT health food...It just tastes good -- fat and carbs taste good! We like them...and we need them -- amongst other nutrients-- and our kids will not die from fast food consumption.
And -- as a mom, I feel it is my duty to let the people who passed this law know this truth of child behavior: Just because you bought the healthy meal with a toy doesn't mean the kid is going to eat it.
But they will play with the toy.
