As if bringing Jerry Brown out of mothball storage and re-electing Sen. Barbara Boxer isn't bad enough, news from the Golden State that the City of San Francisco is making the McDonald's Happy Meal a little less so. A new city ban forbids restaurants from offering a free toy with meals that contain more than set levels of calories, sugar and fat.
"We're part of a movement that is moving forward an agenda of food justice", said Eric Mar, the city supervisor who sponsored the measure.
Food justice? Oh boy.
NO LETTUCE! NO PEAS!

They voted against dope on the street so they could put a dope in the state house and retain dopes in congress.
A group for nanny-statism, did he say?
I admire the objective...the methods are the pits.
Will those Rice-a-Roni lobbiests stop at nothing to eliminate their competition as the San Francisco Treat?
McDonalds should shove this right back up the Council's collective ass:
"Sorry kids, if you want the toy that all the other kids get for free, you'll have to get Mommy or Daddy (or in SF, Mommy or Mommy, Daddy or Daddy) to give you $4 more because the City of San Francisco says we have to charge you for the toys."
Actually, couldn't McDonald's circumvent the ban by "selling" the toy for an extra penny?
It's a moot point folks. Aside from some gay couples with their adopted Chinese daughters (and would they even THINK of going to McDonalds?), their are very few children at all in San Francisco.
