The point is not the toy. The point is parents letting their kids run things.
Does anyone actually think removing the toy from a happy meal will actually have an effect on obesity? Really?
The toy is a hook for the kids. But the parents are the ones who drive to McDonalds, order the food, and pay for it.
This is just another example of nannyism and the loss of freedoms.
It's not nannyism and the loss of freedoms, it's your first point...parents letting their kids run things
The definition of a 'meal'
–noun
1) the food served and eaten esp. at one of the customary, regular occasions for taking food during the day, as breakfast, lunch, or supper.
The damn kid shouldn't eat a toy, so it shouldn't be part of a 'meal'
