You can't register your car in Cali unless it passes a smog test, is that fucked up or what?

Re: Christine O'Donnell

Get real. PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY should not be sacrificed for authoritarian bullshit measures like the above. You would have the Feds appropriately wipe each of our asses after defecation if you had your way.

Re: Christine O'Donnell

You don't see the connection between a free toy and really unhealthy food being fed to kids? It's rewarding eating shit. I think it's criminal, so therefore I don't care who says it's wrong, the local government in San Francisco, or a 3rd party organization. Type 2 diabetes is an epedimic among kids these days, it's not the 1979 anymore.

Plus Vinnie, you don't live in the city of San Francisco, so your kids can have all the free toys and mcdonalds you want to feed them.

Re: Christine O'Donnell

Yea, you missed the point entirely. Parents should have the ultimate say as to what they feed their children. To make the ridiculous decry by law to a private company is just the kind of oppressive measure that Orwell waxed poetic about in [I]1984.[/I]

Re: Christine O'Donnell

^I think you are missing the bigger picture as it relates to type 2 diabetes and calling highly unhealthy food that comes with toys a "HAPPY" meal. I don't trust Mcdonalds as far as I can throw Mcdonalds with regard to their ingredients and use of saturated fat and sodium. These "happy meals" are not the same "food" ingredients that we ate when we were kids. Shit is foul.

You hit the nail on the head. The majority of voters have decided they now would rather have a president they could see themselves drinking a beer with. Unreal.

Re: Christine O'Donnell

Processed foods are everywhere you look. They're no worse than Monsanto and their GMO food encroachment (the long-term effects of which have not even been studied), which is in bed with federal govt and empowered to turn farmers into slaves for their single season seeds. Might as well take the McDonald's decree one step further and cover the remainder of the big fast food chains that dare market to children, or anybody who would dare include a toy packaged with the food (cracker jacks, banned!). Nutritional content is available for anyone who asks, not to mention freely available on the web. Just remember that this nutrition mandate is from the same power trip mindset that got a man arrested for growing his own food on his own land (he dared to share it with his neighbors while big brother was watching) recently in, I believe, Alabama.

Re: Christine O'Donnell

Nah, Uniquely, McDonalds is special Vinnie because they sit on more land than any other company in the world. And you are kind of going off on a tangent about farming, but if your land is not zoned for farming, then there are laws prohibiting it, simple as that. My Grandpa is a DAIRY farmer, he also grows his own feed for his cows. There is plenty of farmland zoned for farming in Alabama, that I am sure of :) . Kids need balanced meals when they are growing up, so San Fran is saying lets try to balance the nutritional content in happy meals. I'm sorry but I don't see that as bad.

Re: Christine O'Donnell

It's a tangent about authoritative governments. ;-) Competitors like Burger King, Wendy's and JiTB combined likely eclipse that of McDonald's, so it's just a half-measure so that the govt. can be the arbitrator of what one's kids should be eating at arguably the largest fast food chain. A drop in the bucket and an invitation for statist types to continue slamming their nutrition mandates on other private companies. Oh, and nonsensical zoning laws shouldn't impede one from achieving self-sufficiency.

Re: Christine O'Donnell

There is plenty of empirical data that back up the fact that kids these days are eating too much shit and not exercising enough. If the parents aren't willing to help, balancing food on menus from Mcdonalds is at least a small step in a proactive direction. Will they sell less happy meals in San Fran? That remains to be seen.
