The fast food joints will still be able to sell the toys (or give them away)…they just won’t be able to use the toys as a marketing device for their kid’s meals. Not that this legislation will do any good. Poor people will still go to fast food joints because it’s easier than cooking, and they’ve learned to budget around fast food better than grocery shopping…after all, fruit is expensive!

It’s not the price of fruit that keeps poor people from eating right; it’s the distance to a market that even has fruit.
