And I go to McDonalds for their delicious fries and their 1/3 lbs angus burger...mmmmmm. I miss being able to supersize my food. I think parents need to make more of an effort to get their kids active. I rarely see kids at playgrounds anymore.

Why banned the toys? The toys have nothing to do with child obesity. Do kids eat the toys now? C'mon now...
Its the FOOD! And plus the parents' fault for being lazy for not cooking for the family and taking their kids to fast food restuarants almost every single day.

Salad or McNuggets/Burger
Water/Juice or Coke
It's still a choice. I was more shocked that the California city government spent their time and money passing this legislation when their state as a whole is in so much debt. I'm sure there are better things for them to be fighting over.
I'd like to see kids actually outside playing again. Whatever happened to just letting kids go outside and play on their own? Being fit and healthy is a lifestyle that the govt should not be trying to regulate. It goes beyond the toys, even though I think kids should still have the enjoyment I got out of happy meals as a kid. It's part of being a kid.

1. Shouldn't it be the parent's decision on what the kids eat?
2. Before you could buy the happy meal toy without even getting the meal. They're not even allowing that?

Parents can't say no, so they make the government do it for them. Either that or people who can (or don't have to) want to do it for other kids parents who can't.

Gotcha, I see. I'm used to parents disciplining their children. Which involves telling them "no" from time to time. I guess parenting is a lot different now.

That's what I'm used to as well. And I agree with you on the stupidity of this law. It's pathetic on multiple levels.

*Sigh*
I will never understand government. If they're worried about obesity, why don't they outlaw the extreme sized adult meals and have only happy meal sized portions? I mean, it's a small soda, fries, and like, six mcnuggets. Maybe even four. That's not going to make you fat. A deep fried fish sandwich slathered in mayo, a large coke, and large fries is what makes you fat.

My dad never gets me McDonalds he's a no fat/sugar guy xD how's that for parenting? Now my mom is a completely different story >.> personally I'd take apples over McDonalds anyday.
Yet, what's so bad about the toys? Geez, I mean come on :| it's like Nate said, people need to learn to say no.

Child obesity (or obesity in general) only happen, as I explain in my last post, when you go to the place every single day, without a daily exercise/diet. Not once or twice a week/month. Ordering the same meal for the kids (excluding changing or adding variety -as in the choices Mc Donalds have for the Happy Meal such as the apple dippers or juice-) every day instead providing variety in choices, not to mention there are groceries at home that are now probably either wasted or unhealthy in a balance diet, or there's a fact of spending money on fast food instead of saving, or then parents are being lazy or don't know how to cook...
ok, stopping now...
