not sure what is worse, nanny-statism like this or multinationals like mcdonalds giving kids the cheapest toys they can from china or materials made in china, with apparently no quality-control testing (the cadnium-paint glasses were made in the US, but where was the paint itself from??)
First they came for the smokers, but I wasn’t a smoker, so I didn’t care. Next, they came for the obese, but I am slim, so I didn’t care. Then...
"Supervisor Mar says 'play with the bag, kid'!"
I’m going with out-of-control nanny state.
Well, that's nice. So we won't have to eat string beans and spinach with our bacon and eggs?
Or will bacon and eggs be permitted at all?
Bacon is against Islam....
Helllooo, Board of Supervisors!! Stop passing laws that treat us like children! You are NOT my mother. Listen, if you want me to stop smoking, do something about all the smelly, dirty people sleeping in doorways, on sidewalks, and in parks. Then I won't have to use my ciggies to block their stench. If you want me to start using Muni, make it run on time, crack down on fare-jumpers, and stop letting homeless people use Muni as a hotel. If you want me to walk more, crack down on all the selfish dog owners who make it impossible to walk more than 10 feet without stepping in dog crap. If you want me to spend $$$ at locally-owned businesses, stop artificially jacking up prices through utopian surcharges and stop passing laws which make it impossible for small business owners to survive. And, to get back to the subject at hand, it's none of your d*** business what I or any member of my family choose to eat or drink. Pi$$ off, Eric Mar.

Actually, it would be more like, “Recycle the bag, kid!”
This is nutty.
“will bolster the city’s reputation as either an out-of-control nanny state or a bold watchdog for public health”
...both. And then some. This is “The Year 2525” by Zagar and Evans. “Arms dangling by our sides”, “Won’t need no teeth to chew”...”Government will do it all for you”! (added that part)
So lemme get this straight. California is bankrupt, and you have govt people there telling McDonalds et al how to run their businesses?
And soon it will be "eat the bag, kid. It tastes better than anything that's inside."
McD’s should invent the “kid’s kondiment kit” and include the toy there, outside the packaging of the happy meal and tell the city officials of SF to go pound patties.
St. Francisco should be renamed Vulgaria from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, where the children are illegal. The similarities are many.
So....I’m guessing that the caloric or otherwise disadvantages of Gerbils does not play into the paternalistic oversight of San Francisco’s elite government apparatchiks, huh?
Careful. This is San Francisco we're talking about.
heh, heh....you said ‘kondiment’........heh, heh....
