By a 3-2 vote, Santa Clara County supervisors today approved the nation's first childhood obesity ordinance targeting toy giveaways with fast-food meals.
The ordinance would prohibit restaurants from giving away toys with kids' meals that are high in fat, sugar and calories.
The ban's reach will be very limited. It will only affect restaurants in the unincorporated areas of Santa Clara County such as San Martin.
Supervisors Ken Yeager, Liz Kniss and Dave Cortese voted for the ordinance. Supervisors Don Gage and George Shirakawa opposed it.
The ordinance will return to the board May 11 for a final vote. It will take effect 90 days after that, but during that time restaurants will have the chance to offer alternatives to the ordinance. If the board does not accept any of the alternatives, the law will begin at the end of the 90 days.

There is no end so long as they live
A large order of fries and plenty of ketchup in the back seat with small kids will make the car trip go so much better. Just bring plenty of wash cloths.

Very good graphic.
Oh don't we FEEL GOOD about our little toy ban today! Yes we are GOOD little statists, we do things that make us feel GOOD!
Do I even need to note that there is ONE restaurant in San Martin, CA, and that it's a non-fast-food restaurant that's been there for years, not giving out little toys?
but they all feel so good about themselves, so superior...
Love the graphic...reminds me of Santa Cruz Beach, there’s a sign that lists about 100 things that you CAN’T do on the beach. It always cracked me up how tyrannical that liberal bastion is....it’s also illegal to walk your dogs in downtown Santa Cruz, sheesh, what a bunch of petty dictators!!
LOL, to be fair I like Dave Cortese. Just a terrific guy.
Heard this on the radio today. Thanks for pinging me and saving me the trouble of posting it.

Thanks for the ping!
Gulag-America here we come.
I agree with the vote. The restaurants should be including cigarettes instead of toys.
All politics are local as the cliche goes.
Nothing more local then your nose. Some people went along with the war on smokers because they don’t like the smell of burning paper and leaves. Understandable. I don’t like the smell of BO covered by cologne.
That is not what this is about. It’s a billion dollar racket for grant junkies, trial lawyers and health activists and a way for public serpents to claim they are controlling healthcare costs and pass feel good legislation.
If gubmint is paying for your healthcare what you eat is their business. It’s the Faustian bargain the clueless signed up for.
My ‘stockpile’ list continues to grow as everyday items will soon be VERBOTEN in what was once America:
Ammo (always!)
Gold & Silver
Cigarettes (for bartering)
Toilet Paper
Garden Seeds
Coffee
Sugar
Salt
Light bulbs
Yeast
Fish Oil
Lard
Toys for my future Grandkids
If them brain dead idiots want to get the fat off of children why don,t they just come up with laws such as must work laws.
If kids start working at the age of six, then they could eat even more than what they do and still be skinny, it would help the food industry thrive.
well, just writing that made me tired , i think i will just ignore the new world order dictators, and go eat some sugar for energy, and salt to satisfy my addiction, and then have a cigarette to calm my nerves.
I suspect that will happen when families go out of their way to get to another McD’s so they can get the toys for their kids.
I have a newsflash for these fools in CA, kids do not live and thereby eat 3 meals a day at McDonalds. Even if they go there for 2 meals a week, it is not going to make them fat.
That's why they are falling apart in the first place. Always concerned about something that is not of their concern.
