San Francisco Happy Meal Ban Could Help Parents Think Outside the Box
San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors have voted to ban most of McDonald’s happy meals as they are now served. This will make San Francisco the first city in the US to forbid restaurants from offering a free toy with meals that contain more than a set level of calories, sugar, and fat.
The ordinance may require that fruits and vegetables be included in children’s meals that come with toys. With child obesity so prevalent in this country, parents can find healthier choices.
