The Gov cannot regulate every aspect of our life (happy meals in CA?) but when they do shouldn't there be some common sense involved? THAT I would vote for.
Off topic but the happy meal thing is way over blown- They didn't outlaw a happymeal nor toys in them. They outlawed toys in unhealthy happy meals. It's a choice parents and Mc'ds must make now. Toy and healthy meal or unhealthy meal and no free toy. Have you seen the number of fat kids? Someone has to make people think about that choice. At current rates of childhood obesity pediatricians are going to have to get extra training on treating heart attack, coronary artery disease etc. They already have to bone up on type 2 diabetes management.
