April 29, 2010 Poll: Should Prizes Be Banned From Kids’ MealsFiled under: Poll, Uncategorized
Santa Clara County, CA, supervisors have passed an ordinance this week that bans restaurants from giving away toys and other promotional products with high-calorie kids’ meals. The ordinance won’t be enforced for three months, but after that there will be fines of up to $1,000. According to Supervisor Ken Yeager, “This ordinance breaks the link between unhealthy food and prizes.” Sure, it’s a nice idea, but is the Happy Meal prize really the reason our kids are so fat and unhealthy? Hardly. It’s the parents who allow their kids to eat these foods five times a week that are the problem. But that’s just my opinion. What do you think? Take the poll now!

OK, maybe it’s me, but I just think this is ridiculous.
