McDonalds should just find a workaround to the ban. Here’s my idea: Sell the food of a happy meal in a regular bag, then give the option to purchase the toy and other stuff in a packet for maybe 25 cents.

I’ll bet even when the populace is up at 5am someday doing compulsory calisthenics, politicians will still find a way to be in poor physical shape themselves. Why are these people choosing our lifestyles for us?

If they really wanted to address the nutritional content of fast food, a good place to start would be farm subsidies. Eliminate the market distortions created by farm subsidies and the nutritional quality of all foods would increase, it would actually save money and preserve freedom.

But no, they are too afraid to attack the real issues, so they ban toys, which will change nothing except for the negative impact it has on businesses and freedom.
