Apologies if this was posted by someone yesterday:

Happy Meal toys could be banned in Santa Clara County

A county supervisor has created a stir with his proposal to bar the inclusion of toys in restaurant meals that contain high amounts of sugar, salt or certain fats.

I can’t imagine why people think california is full of lunatics.


Convinced that Happy Meals and other food promotions aimed at children could make kids fat as well as happy, county officials in Silicon Valley are poised to outlaw the little toys that often come with high-calorie offerings.


When my daughter was young, she wanted to go to McDonalds and get a happy meal just for the toy.

She would eat maybe 2 small bites of the burger and 3 fries and that would be it.
