      I wish it where "California county bans McDonald's Happy Meal toys" or at least "California county bans McDonald's Happy Meal toys". Their "food" is just shredded & flavored cardboard. Ugh! Yech!

        Now, all they need to do is ban the chain outright and we're on the right path.

              I am sure you can buy cheap, shoddy goods that will fall apart in no time at other outlets.

                      I can see it is a good idea in theory but will it change anything? If parents can't be bothered to cook for their children and want to bring them up on fast food then what will that change? As a child I would have loved to go to McDonalds all the time, a happy meal was quite tasty, I would get a nice shake with it and a toy to play with afterwards :omg: . There is a reason I wasn't an obese child though, and that is that my parents didn't mind saying no to me, they would cook me nutritious meals instead. On the rare occasion I would have a happy meal, it was a treat. I see far to many parents around these days that just give the child what they want when they ask for it and can't say no to them, that's what really needs to change. Just my 2p.

                          it's a sad thing that nowadays you see people treating fast food as a norm rather than occasional. In the article itself, the guy from McD who protests it makes a point that parents should still be the ones to govern how often their kids get access to it which is also, a completely valid standpoint.

                              As a child growing up in Pimlico, we would go to a Wimpy on a friday night, and I would get a knickerbocker glory. Ah the joys of childhood!

                                    I was amazed to find a Wimpy near the corner by our offices. I have no idea if it is part of the chain or not because I thought that had closed down years ago.

                                        Looks like a good initiative, but in the article it almost literally says: "Parents are not responsible". I think society should have a look at that direction first... after all, who pays for the kid's meal?

                                        V.

                                          I was amazed to find a Wimpy near the corner by our offices. I have no idea if it is part of the chain or not because I thought that had closed down years ago.

                                          I stumbled across one the other week on the M1 or M69 (I forget which one I was on at the time). Took me by surprise too, hadn't seen one in years before that.
