San francisco banned the mcdonalds happy meal

But instead of changing the content of Happy Meals or eliminating the toys, McDonald's is complying by charging a meager ten cents for the addition of a toy -- with the proceeds benefitting the Ronald McDonald House Charity.

Well played. And if Mar's "pester power" is enough to drag parents to McDonald's in the first place, there is little doubt it will be enough to make them cough up an extra dime. The impact of the ordinance -- and legislation like it -- has indeed been palpable: McDonald's started offering options like milk and apple slices with its Happy Meals in July , and Jack in the Box dropped toys from children's meals all together. But with a toy still available with the French fry-soda-fried chicken-laden calorie bomb Happy Meal for a measly ten cents, we have a feeling it will be business as usual at the world's largest fast food chain.

While advocates of the ordinance are disheartened by the announcement, supporters insist that San Francisco is still taking a large step in the right direction. HuffPost Personal Video Horoscopes. Follow Us. Terms Privacy Policy.
