Kids get excited about toys -> kids pester their parents to go to McDonalds -> parents buy Happy Meal.
Wow, I wish I would've had a parent who did whatever the hell I wanted when I was a kid.
In other words -- tough crap. If parents can't do their damn job properly, they shouldn't have kids to begin with.
So which is it? Kids want the bad food? Fine, nothing changes for them. Or do they want the toy? Now they get the toy with a healthy meal. Where's the downside?
I think the toy is still available as an additional purchase even with the "unhealthy" meal and I think it is absurdly cheap. Want to take a wild guess what's going to happen?
You can't say that the toys are not what make the kids want the food, and in the same breath complain about banning the toys for the unhealthy food. That makes no sense.
You absolutely can. Some of us actually believe that parents should be the one making the decision on what to feed their kid and that a government shouldn't try to dictate food choices with silly, meaningless actions like this one.
