San Francisco Bans High-Calorie “Happy Meal”

HeadlineNov 10, 2010

And San Francisco has become the first U.S. city to ban the high-calorie children’s “Happy Meal” served at the McDonald’s fast-food chain. On Tuesday, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors gave final approval to a proposal barring restaurants from giving toys with meals containing excessive fat and sugar. Under the rule, restaurants will also have to serve fruits and vegetables alongside any meals with toys. The measure will take effect in December 2011.
