I really like this idea, instead of rewarding children with toys to eat unhealth food now their forced to serve fruits and vegies

thoughts?

They shall now serve unhappy meals.

They shall now serve unhappy meals.

I saw what you did there.

They don't let cigarettes get marketed to kids, so I think this is a good idea. Happy Meals are probably about as bad for you as cigarettes anyway.

I'm so glad I took my lunch to school as a kid. Seeing the shit that they server makes me sick. The only thing green you ever see are nasty canned green beans. There have only been about 20 studies that show you can serve fresh, healthy food in school cafeterias for the same price as nuggets and fries.

I like this:
"Public opinion continues to be overwhelmingly against this misguided legislation," she said. "Parents tell us it's their right and responsibility — not the government's — to make their own decisions and to choose what's right for their children."

Umm, not to be a downer here, but when the State is footing a fair amount of the bill to pay for the health care that is required to keep your blubbery fat ass alive, they get to make laws like this. Remember, the Government wouldn't need to be a nanny state if it's citizens were not such children.
