San Francisco's board of supervisors has voted, by a veto-proof margin, to ban most of McDonald's Happy Meals as they are now served in the restaurants.
The measure will make San Francisco the first major city in the country to forbid restaurants from offering a free toy with meals that contain more than set levels of calories, sugar and fat.
The ordinance would also require restaurants to provide fruits and vegetables with all meals for children that come with toys.
"We're part of a movement that is moving forward an agenda of food justice," said Supervisor Eric Mar, who sponsored the measure. "From San Francisco to New York City, the epidemic of childhood obesity in this country is making our kids sick, particularly kids from low income neighborhoods, at an alarming rate. It's a survival issue and a day-to-day issue."

This could easily fall under constitutional challenge.

They’re officially a Happy Meal short of a Happy Meal.

No, haha, but (no pun intended), last night on Drudge’s election coverage, he was listing who was in and out. I must have a potty mind because I recoiled at reading: Barney Frank IN, and (fill in the blank) OUT.
Maybe the action figures could play a segment of YMCA?

“agenda of food justice”
Anytime you hear “justice-this” or “justice-that”, such as “economic justice”, you may be pretty sure a Communist is behind it. Those people need to live in concentration camps - THAT would be justice.

Gay meals are just fine, I suppose. They're FABULOUS! What kind of toys do you get?

all they need to do is put some gay friendly toys in there and San Fran will reverse the ban. Introducing the McButtplug

No happy meals means no kids means no breeders.

I think San Fran should just ban all those nasty munchies, then they would really be happy wouldn’t they?
(Back in my college days — now I wouldn’t know from personal experience mind you— organic carrot sticks did not qualify as munchies)

blame McDonalds
if they had been calling these “GAY Meals” instead of “Happy Meals” this problem could not have arisen — b/c then it would have been clear that McDonalds is on the side of “FOOD JUSTICE” (sic)
