happy meals: not so HAPPY any more.


so i heard from my good friend, the LA times that t0ys have been banned from happy meals in Santa Clara County, California. This is GOODDDD!!!! now there is not an incentive for children and youngsters to want the happy meal anymore just so they can obtain the totally rad toy that lies within. It's not a child's faut that they like toys so much, so why would fast food establishments prey on their little minds and bodies by offering something so irresistably fun with a calorie and fat loaded meal? it is proven that the majority if the time obesity starts with the child. and with fast food places offering toys and fun things that come inside that greese dripping paper bag, it becomes even more appealing to gain weight. parents also go hand in hand with this happy meal appeal. how many of you have been eating a happy meal, or another appealing meal from a fast food place and heard your mom or dad say, "you cant have your toy until you finish your meal" what the heck? why would you want all of our attention to be focused on eating ALL of the fat packed kiddie meal that will only add lbs. to our body and cause health to decrease? i just dont understand what is so wrong with banning they toys from happy meals.
