    Why should I tell you?
    More children are getting to fat. I believe this is because the Fast Food restaurants (like McDonalds) give them toys. In order to get children to eat healthy again and lose weight, these toys should be banned! When these toys are gone, children are less attracted to go and eat Fast Food. And this will result in healthier children.

    It's the parents fault in my opinion not the company. As a young kid you can't just go to the store and buy it yourself, your parents have to and if the parents say they can't have it, they can't get it. To me the question always comes up because parents don't want to admit they made their own kids fat by not having them eat healthy.

    How about you're an incompetent parent if you let your children become fat, and it's totally on you? That's the end of the story. Period. If you raise your child and he becomes obese , that is your fucking fault not McDonalds. I've never seen such retarded logic before. Why can you cast blame onto a business for selling you what you ask them too? It's not the governments job to protect children from their parents buying them food LOL. What a glorious waste of time and money this would be. Let's just ban tables too I'm fuckin sick of stubbing my toe.

    What if your kid never eats, and that toy is the only incentive for he/she to eat?

    Are you implying that someones child has an eating disorder? I've seen parents actually MAKING their kids eat too much before. It's pretty disturbing.

    Then the parents can buy the child toys themselves.

    I'm pretty sure it's not McDonalds job to sort out eating disorders, and more than it's their job to stop people getting fat.

    Making them eat too much is disturbing, McDonalds had done a good job balancing their kids meal IMO, they've gone from just hamburger, fries and soda.

    To a kids meal that has apples, fries, choice of chicken or burger and choice of juice or milk.

    And that marketing is still has fast food driven obesity all over it, but it is still the Parents job to raise their kids, not banning toys.

    But yeah that original point is that some kids don't eat at all and could maybe be a disorder, the toy is just simply "eat your nuggets or no toy"..

    Maybe some parents could get used to the fact that their child weighs like 40 pounds and probably doesn't need to eat as much as they do to get through the day! In the one in a million chance that your child ACTUALLY has an eating disorder that will be diagnosed by a medical professional in civilized countries who have universal health care. However most kids just aren't hungry. They are not in danger of malnutrition, crazy ass parents.

    Anyway though on the topic at hand we agree. Passing legislation to protect parents from their own stupidity is not reasonable.
