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!

Poor people and not so poor people go to fast food joints because they HAVE NO TIME.
See a typical day in my life for the first 16 years of my kid’s life:
re: #440 reine.de.tout

There were plenty of days when I was damned glad to have McDonalds shit to feed to my kid.

Get up at 5, get ready for work, get the kid ready for school, drop the kid off at 7, drive to work, work from 7:30 to 4, pick the kid up at school at 4:30, go home and feed the kid and change clothes and do homework and do a load of laundry and clean up the pet vomit all in time to get ready for a school event starting at 6.
