San Francisco Bans Happy Meal Toys

So this story is all over the news. If you missed it for some reason, here is a link to the story as posted on Cleveland.com.

It's funny to see all the aggression and excitement over this. It's McDonald's! Who cares, right? Apparently, a lot of people care, and they care a lot.

It's funny to see how political the reactions are, too. The Democrats are for the ban and the Republicans are against it.

I personally hate McDonald's and I'm happy to see anything that forces them to offer healthier choices for kids.

Sure, I agree that Mom and Dad should be the one that decides what their children eats, but I don't think they are doing such a great job. I see obese children going to places like McDonald's and eating dinner with their obese parents. Maybe they need to choose a healthier option?

Our family enjoys quick meals from time to time, but since we are vegetarians places like McDonald's has nothing for us. Even the french fries are made with beef juice! I'd be happy to see a few more fruits and vegetables on menus, especially those targeted to kids.

Anyway, that's my .02. If you're still reading this far, I'd love to hear (see) your comments. Please feel free to add them.
