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."

Homosexuals are, first and foremost, anal control-freaks.
They want us to leave them alone, but they have no intention of leaving us alone.

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

Whatever you do, don’t drink any water that comes from California. There’s something in it that drives people batty.

All they have to do is drop the price of the meal a penny and charge a penny for the toy...that way it isn’t free.

an agenda of food justice
Good grief--we have "social justice," "economic justice," and now "food justice"? What next--"fashion justice"?
