Happy Meals Illegal in California County
Posted on | April 28, 2010 | Comments Off
Happy Meals will be a whole lot less happy for some and are now banned in Santa Clara County. The ban, effective in 90 days, will be enforced by the Health Department. Fast food restaurants will no longer be able to entice small children or weird adults like myself into buying Happy Meals based on the toy. This is an attempt at making eating “healthier” for the children. It’s pretty safe to bet that parents who don’t want to deal with their screaming children will exit the county and take them to restaurants not participating in the ban, or actually cook them a meal at home. (Oh wow, won’t that be a shock for some!) It will be interesting to see if this spreads to other counties or states for that matter and to see if they can prove if it has any effect at all on the health of children and or adults eating or not eating said Happy Meals.
