Happy Meals Banned in San Francisco

San Francisco just banned the toys in happy meals unless McD's changes what is included in the meal. They did this because the McDonald's happy meals did not meet the nutritional standards that local government has set.

Due to time restrictions, I will keep it short. The practical reality is that it it is a parent's job to make sure their child eats right. A parent should have the right to feed their kid food they want. A parent no longer has the right to reward their child for doing good on a test, doing well at camp, etc. by taking them to McD's for their favorite meal.

This is the fundamental question. Who should have control over what your child eats, watches and does?
