San Francisco bans Happy Meals

[USFREEDOM911]

Well US, it is clear that any attempt at adult-like discussion or moderation is impossible with you right wing ideologues. The whole fucking world is a battle of polarized arguments and ABSOLUTES.

The child molester on the street corner near the school has been building a market over many years. Should we keep the government's hands off the candy he uses to entice his victims?

I fully anticipate you will be incredulous, because the child molester is 'breaking the LAW' and he is HARMING children.

Well here are the FACTS. Happy meals are HARMING children, and the TOY is the molester's 'candy'

Now you're trying to equate McDonalds to that of child molestation and you state that "...that any attempt at adult-like discussion or moderation is impossible with you right wing ideologues..."

You are truly delusional and are obviously in desperate need of clinical help.

Shouldn't the Banana Republic of San Francisco also ban Taco Bell (they have that cute little dog), Wendy's (such bright colors and it's named after his daughter), Peter Piper Pizza (they have games geared towards bringing children into their evil fold), Chucky Cheese (my gawd, have you seen that mouse), etc, etc?

Good for you. I don't want the government intruding into my life either. But it is not a free market tenet or a God given right that you can package and sell whatever you want and have body count be the hand of the 'free market'

However, it is a precept of freedom to allow people to make choices for themselves and their families. Including whether or not to frequent a restaurant that caters to their children.

Question: Does this mean that crayons and fun place mats will no longer be available at places like Red Lobster? The over-fried and butter-dripped seafood isn't very good for you and probably don't meet these requirements. Will your dinner be as pleasant when bored children are acting out instead?

 

[USFREEDOM911]

Looks like San Francisco just made sure that the owners of franchises in their 'burbs will make a MINT!

Mints are bad; because they are covered in green shiny foil, they taste good, and to many of them are bad for you.

 

[USFREEDOM911]

WHAT is it you can't comprehend? If you remove the toy, does that mean kids, parents and hobos can no longer buy a happy meal because they need their fix of 'hamburgers, salty fries and sodas' or that they 'like the taste of the food'???

If the kid needs a toy, take him to the toy store.

So you're not against kids eating fattening food, you're just against McDonalds being in the toy business!!

What's wrong, wouldn't mommy and/or daddy buy you a meal with a toy and now you feel everyone should suffer!

 

[USFREEDOM911]

I understand what a parent's responsibility is. My wife and I have adult children. But I also understand what the purpose of toy in the Happy Meal is; a HOOK. A child does not know that. We don't give children a drivers license for a reason.

I understand the opposition to it, but I think it is way over the top and narcissistic. We have a very serious obesity epidemic in this country. It is a huge burden that will undermine any and all efforts to reduce health care costs and insurance premiums. I don't see any benefit to having a fast food restaurant putting HOOKS in unhealthy meals to entice children. Sell the meal based on the actual food in the box.

Then tell your adult children to stop taking their fat assed kids (your grandchildren) to McDonalds and leave everyone else alone.

Why, because I don't agree with you? I fully understand why people are opposed to this. But I also know that many of those same people are totally unaware to what a real free market is and what it isn't. And even though this small measure won't cure childhood obesity, it might stimulate conversation, create awareness and lead to some solutions to the epidemic obesity has become in America.

What I don't think you understand is the magnitude of the problem or the exorbitant costs it burdens all of us with.

What I don't understand is conservatives place such a priority on national security, this obesity epidemic even affect that.

Utterly astounding....
The depth of dementia among the liberal pinheads is just astounding....its monumental...
Its not fat kids that are a problem, its the fuckin' insanity of liberals.....

I say let 'er rip. These smug assholes think it will stop here and as long as their children don't suffer from obesity, or it doesn't directly effect them, then it's fine to take away their rights. As soon as you start impinging on something they perceive as untouchable, they will scream from the roof tops about being violated.

Let's not stop at fat children. Let's go after the fat parents and take their rights to choose what they like away.

These are the very same people who scream that women should have the right to kill unborn children because in many cases, they were too stupid to use birth control, BUT let's take the toys away in Happy Meals because now those kids are fatties.

I've got a way for you to prove it's the toy and not the food.
You start a chain that sells a kids meal that contains a tofu burger, apple slices, soy milk, and a toy.
If you can sell as many kids meals as McDonalds does, in the Banana Republic of San Francisco, then you will have proven your point that it's the TOY.

You better see a Physician, about that bleeding heart of yours, before you expire; but before you go, you need to understand that a free market does mean you can package and sell whatever you want.
As long as it's not illegal and there's a market for it.

Maybe if McD's gave out condoms instead of toys in the Happy Meals the liberals would approve.

Maybe if Remington had a VIP sales program you wouldn't be a proven liar...again.

Its amazing that such a simple concept could be so far beyond they minds capacity to grasp....the very concept of freedom is more than their demented brains can understand...

[Cancel 2018. 3]

No Yurt, you are an example of someone who is too obtuse to understand the CONTEXT of my comment. If your read and comprehend what I said, I was confronting the extreme ideological, polarized and absolute arguments from 'conservatives' and the right on this issue with an EXAMPLE of how extreme that absolutism really is.

bullshit, your context is clear sicko...

here are the FACTS. Happy meals are HARMING children, and the TOY is the molester's 'candy'

nothing about conservatives, nice try liar

then you course support a ban on ALL commercials about candy, fast food, ice cream, cake, halloween, birthday cake that are catered to kids....

fascist dickhead

It's "highly recommended" you get the fuck out of our lives, before we really get pissed.

Most U.S. youths unfit to serve, data show

By William H. McMichael - Staff writer
Posted : Thursday Nov 5, 2009 16:56:21 EST

U.S. military-age youth are increasingly unfit to serve — mostly because they’re in such lousy shape.

According to the latest Pentagon figures, a full 35 percent, or more than one-third, of the roughly 31.2 million Americans aged 17 to 24 are unqualified for military service because of physical and medical issues. And, said Curt Gilroy, the Pentagon’s director of accessions, “the major component of this is obesity. We have an obesity crisis in the country. There’s no question about it.”

Obesity and risk of job disability in male firefighters

Background Obesity is a major public health problem and a workplace epidemic in Western societies. However, little is known about the association between obesity and job disability in specific occupational groups.

...

Conclusions Obesity is associated with higher risk of job disability in firefighters. Additional research is needed to further explore our findings. Our study may have economic and public health implications in other occupational settings.

Increasing obesity rate related to increased cost to society
Morbidities associated with obesity are also associated with high medical costs for care.

by Saad Shebrain, MD; Brant K. Oelschlager, MD

Researchers from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health addressed the prevalence of obesity and found the U.S. obesity rate has increased at an alarming rate over the past three decades, according to results of a recent study. The researchers expect that by 2030, 86% of U.S. adults will be overweight or obese, with related health care spending projected to be as much as $956.9 billion. They concluded that without a change in people’s eating habits or exercise habits, the figures will continue climbing to a public crisis.

From an economic standpoint, obesity is costly for both individuals and society, with its associated major health problems leading to substantial economic consequences for the U.S. health care system. This includes both direct and indirect costs. Direct medical costs may include preventive, diagnostic, and treatment services related to obesity; indirect costs relate to morbidity and mortality costs.

It would probably be a more tasty and nutritious alternative to the food.

 

[FUCK THE POLICE]

Without the toy, what's the point? Take away the toy and it's just a substandard burger and some fucking fries.


Oh, and speaking as a parent, I don't need the GOD damned government telling me how to raise my kids or what to feed them.

So your children are your property and you can do with them as you like?
