I just came across this video about a county in California where Happy Meals were just outlawed. Those in favor of the law say that the toys included in the meal promote the unhealthy food included. However, those opposed argue that it is the parent's responsibility to choose the healthier options provided and not penalize McDonald's itself. This new law was inspired by the statistic that one in every four children in Santa Clara County are overweight or obese. Whose responsibility is it for unhealthy food choices: the consumer's or the business's?

  1. I love Happy Meals! They were a fun little highlight of my child hood.i don't think the government should control industry like that.
