A county supervisor has created a stir with his proposal to bar the inclusion of toys in restaurant meals that contain high amounts of sugar, salt or certain fats.
The latest target in the battle over fast food is something you shouldn't even put in your mouth.
Convinced that Happy Meals and other food promotions aimed at children could make kids fat as well as happy, county officials in Silicon Valley are poised to outlaw the little toys that often come with high-calorie offerings.
Sheesh, either they are completely stupid and shifting the burden of responsibility or don't have the balls to implement the policy that they want; taxing parents with fat children.
This so typical. It's nanny state government at its worst. Small children do not buy Happy Meals, but rather their parents do. So now Santa Clara County has decided that parents cannot exercise their judgement, but rather the county will substitute its judgement as to what is best.
This is outrageous, but what else would one expect from the Bay Area?
Those darn liberals! They're so evil, they're even willing to take toys away from children!
No, they're evil because they are anti-Constitutional and against the ability of citizens to make judgements and live their lives. I'm just shocked they didn't institute a "Happy Meak toy tax" instead. That way they could have made a little money for the government at the same time. You can have your toy but you must pay the tax.
If you are against it, don't freaking buy it! Are parents there so limpdicked that they can't say no to their kids?!
Apparently they are.
