    Should Happy Meals be banned?

    Should Happy Meals be outlawed? Apparently a group of lawmakers in California think so.

    This week, in a 3-2 vote, they made it illegal to sell meals containing a toy incentive in Santa Clara County.

    Proponents said the little toys fast food restaurants package in their kids meals should be banned because kids are being "enticed to eat unhealthy food" to get the toys.

    No. Instead, parents should learn the word "no."

    Making little Timmy cry once is not going to hurt him. In fact, it's a wonderful childhood lesson. Make Timmy fucking cry!

            There wasn't a toy incentive when I was growing up but all the kids related to the clown and wanted to eat there also it's a cheap meal for busy single moms

                    The problem is all these lawmakers not the happy meals.

                        Maybe parents should consider buying a bunch of shitty ass 20 cent toys and give one to their kid every time said kid eats some healthy food meal they put in front of the kid. They'd save money, kid would eat healthier, win win.

                          Kids would still eat happy meals if they didn't come with a toy.

                            No, because I'm against big government. Let them eat themselves to death.

                              I agree totally....

                              My friend recently told me the doctor told her that her kid was naughty due to the chemicals in soda...candy etc ...bullshit l said to her ..he is just naughty !

                              Seems that parents have to consult on everything now and if the answer comes from a specialist and sounds that they are not to blame...they are cool with it .

                                    I would rephrase it as " it's a cheap junk food fix to keep the kid happy for busy single moms". .... same applies to couples/kids

                                        Childhood obesity is no joke. Leads to cardiovascular disease and diabetes II in adulthood.

                                        That said, I don't think legislation is the key to solving this very important problem.

                                          Very true. Timmy can cry, he'll get over it and won't cry the next time.

                                                  hmm, hard question. The obvious thought is that parents should say "no" to their kids, but the amount of idiot parents around the world amazes me.

My parents told me it was that one and Dairy Queen that I used to squeal at and point before I could even say a sentence. Weirdly we didn't even have a tv at the time. I only watched tv at the babysitter's.

If said parent allows their child to get "drugged" on McDonald's food, McDonald's gets banned, said parent will simply take the child somewhere else to get "drugged".

                                                                                            The thing is, I don't buy my children a Happy Meal because of the toy, I buy it because that's a portion of food that they're gonna eat. It's not like adults buy "Happy Meals" for their kids JUST because the toy and even if they did, what's wrong with that ?? Instead you're gonna buy them a Big Mac extra value meal for your 10 year old child ??
