Happy Meals are Illegal in California......

[Uchiha_Itachi]

Yeah, thats a great idea. Instead of little kids eating small amounts of mcdonalds food, lets make it so they have to get something bigger off of the menu. This will just make kids eat MORE mcdonalds food! If they cant get their happy meal theyll just get a double cheeseburger meal or something! Ugh, stupid government rules!

Happy meals illegal? Seriously, what's going on in this country? There are too many laws around here already and then they go and make a new one for something as pathetic as this?

That's silly, all this ruling is gonna to accomplish is that the kids will no longer get toys, they can still get the food. In my opinion, this wouldn't even be a problem if the healthy foods wasn't so expensive, this is why people eat fast food, it's cheap & it doesn't have to be cook.

Yeah thats right, first we have the government telling us who can get married or not; forcing us to pay for others health insurance; sneaking girls to get abortions from public schools; and now having them make Happy Meals illegal because is supposedly "Promotes unhealthy food choices" for the kids. Seriously, what the heck is going on here? Last thing I remembered most kids go to eat where ever the parents go to eat and its the parents who buy the food for the kids. Its the parents fault for not taking better care about their own childrens health. Government has no right to get involve about disciplining their own children.

Well anyways whats your opinion on this?

didnt george washington fight for kids eating happy meals

You kind of forget that mist commercials target young kids. If fast food companies can't sell the silly toys, kids won't want the meal, they won't beg forthe food. Thus, the companies will lose business.

Maybe, that doesn't work for my 5-year old nephew however, he doesn't care about toys from Mickey Deez, he cares about the meal itself, but you could be right for majority of kids.

I agree with you on some level becuase I skipped happy meals for big macs. xD

I read this thread, and all I wanted to say was,

"This isn't Burger King, you can't have it your way."


...On a side note, getting rid of the Happy Meal is more than a little ridiculous.

Why do you think this Ryuuko? Considering the fact that the food is garbage and litterally may have disesases such as ecoli due to a lack if hygene, and can cause diabetes and obesity.

Government already crosses the line beyond it's intended purpose. so why is this so bad?

Hmmm well.

The food can cause diabetes and obesity, if you eat it in large quantities. But not everyone does that (I'm aware that there are plenty of people who do) - but personally I find it's ridiculous to try to completely deprive yourself of things you want to eat; everything in moderation.

If you think about it, there is the potential of getting food poisoning from any type of food, really.

I'm not saying that children should be eating fast food all the time. But if they do they should certainly have some options.

Don't forget that they take advantage of the public's ignorance, and willingness to listen blindly.

It's not anything like that comparison. It's more like banning water because people who like it a lot end up drowning in it.
