San Fran Bans Happy Meal Toys
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors passed a bill that will prevent McDonald’s from including toys in its Happy Meals. The bill only allow toys to be given away with kids’ meals if they have less than 600 calories, contain fruits and vegetables and include beverages without excessive fat or sugar. “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.”
