California trying to ban the happy meal toy

That's a good question Legodude. . .

Hmm, does this mean restaurants can no longer entice children to eat there with placemats and crayons?

They could argue that the crayons and paper were complimentary, and you do not need to buy a meal to get them.

Lol and mcdonalds can do the same. Just separate the toy from the meal.

Not have read much of the thread.

When i was younger the only reason i got a Happy Meal was for the Toy. Food didn't fill me up. If the was toy banned I'd get a bigger more unhealthy meal that would fill me up!

so the meal didn't fill you...

did you have apple pies and ice cream afterwards? or muffins or any of the other McDonald's Desserts? (or indeed another meal only a couple of hours later?).

the burgers don't have as much sugar in then, nor as much fat as the ice creams likely, so even if kids just get a regular adult sized meal it won't be that bad,
it's not like kids are going to be eating super size portions.

at least they'll be full up and won't require desserts, or another meal only an hour later.

Happy meal definitely is filling. I ate one for linner (lunch + dinner) today. I think i am not gonna eat again for quite a while lol.

I looked at a Claim Jumper Steak and potatoes batch. 600 calories, Maybe the huge gravy poutch is 300?

Mashed potatoes? These are usually loaded with butter.
