The county Board of Supervisors in Santa Clara County, California, has voted to ban the sale of toys and other promotional items in high-calorie meals packaged specifically for children. That would be McDonalds' Happy Meals and similar. No more toys. The toys make children fat, apparently. The ban was approved on a 3-2 vote, with one of the nay-voters giving the money quote of the day:
"If you can't control a 3-year-old child for a toy, God save you when they get to be teenagers" Supervisor Donald Gage (who is himself overweight)
