Consumer Group Want To Ban Happy Meals

[Fun Size]

Like the title says...

Hrm....how to put this lightly...

Dear Busybody Fucks,

I'm sorry that your mom and dad could not take the time to protect you from the evil food making people. This does not, however, give you the right to start getting things banned on the premise that the rest of us do not understand that eating a Happy Meal every day is probably bad for a kid. Most of us get this, and parent appropriately. Those that do not will most likely raise grotesquely fat kids who will perish early, which frankly is covered by natural selection. So, while the ever present threat of evil corporations tricking us all into giving our kids whatever they want is terrifying to be sure, perhaps you could worry less about babysitting the entire goddamned population and worry more about educating those individuals for whom this might actually be a problem.

Sincerely,
The man they call "Fun Size"

Yea. I do like a happy meal once in a while. Heck, sometimes I gorge on a big mac or two (well not two lately) Just because parents can't be good parents and let their kids eat whatever doesn't mean they can tell other parents what they can't have. It is a treat. Like anything, once in a while is ok, but eating it everyday is bad.

We all knew after going after drinking and smoking this would be next.

Nah.... the government (all level) need that Sin Tax they won't kill their revenue (especially in some cities when they are BROKE)

I was actually expecting it to be caffeine, not fatty foods.

Really? With all the focus on American obesity? I thought it was a foregone conclusion.

*groan*

 

[Krisken]

I respect and admire our new food overlords.

Now hand me that milkshake.

Oh I figured it would pop up soon, but I figured with the emergence of Energy Drinks and such, it would only be a matter of time until they were pulled from shelves. Drinking shit like that all the time is going to create a generation of students who no longer need to sleep, but vibrate 24/7.

DO NOT LET THE WOMEN FOLK HEAR OF THIS! Us older guys won't stand a chance...

So we're fighting over the definition of "Happy" now?
Every time I walked out of a McDonalds with a brand new, cheap-ass toy I was super excited and pleased. I couldn't give a shit that I just ate something that was probably processed in the same factory as wood chips.

 

[Gusto]

They keep making garbage taste good with their fuckin' alchemy and I'll keep buying it.

 

[Shawn]

Extra Extra! McDonald's changes name of Happy Meal to "Food Your Parents Purchased To Feed You and Shut You Up" Meal!

actually some of their toys are getting pretty good. I have been known just to buy the TOYS!!!

 

[Hylian]

If they do that Ronald would be out of a job and than we would be forced to witness scenes like this all the time. And wouldn't that be a lot more scarring to our children?

 

[figmentPez]

*sigh* Don't ban happy meals, stop corn subsidies. If corn ceases to be ridiculously cheap, then real food becomes a better option.

 

[Fun Size]

What's funny is that they think banning the toy will stop kids from getting fat, like all the kids were thinking "Well, I guess I can muscle down this cheeseburger and fries so long as I get a plastic (insert movie tie-in here)".

 

[Shawn]

Ban Milk Shakes because they don't shake.

 

[Fun Size]

Well, to be fair we should take them to the yard. If they bring the boys, they can stay.

 

[Shawn]

I drink your milkshake.

The fast food chain "unfairly and deceptively" markets toys to children through its Happy Meals, the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) said in a press release today.

This place is clearly full of idiots who need REAL jobs. You know what "Center for Science in the Public Interest"? Why don't you put all that amazing desire to help the public into stopping something like sex trafficking of underage girls and boys? How about working to get grocery stores into low income neighborhoods instead of masturbating to the sound of your own assholes blowing out bullshit?
This reminds me of the other day, the Minnesota Human Rights division is working to end, one of the most horrible things happening in Minnesota right now. What is it you might ask? The rampant child prostitution in immigrant neighborhoods? The clear abuses of humanity found in and around the city? All far to trivial in the face of the evil known as... "LADIES NIGHTS" at the bars. Thats right, the hard earned tax dollars of my state are going to end this vile discriminatory practice. Thank God for people with such vision.

Damn right. My kids go apeshit as soon as they see the goddamn McDonalds arch logo. Kids like the food. Period. It's high in salt, protein, fat, and sugar. It's exactly what a growing mammal needs! Now, I'm not saying that kids need to eat McD's everyday, but it's really not that bad for them to have it twice a month at the most.

 

[ElJuski]

This is silly.

exactly. I mean a hot fudge sunday is not any healthier either but I don't go eating every week at Braum's. I might go there once or twice a month if that often. It is a treat.

Also the food is CHEAP! It is sad that it is more expensive to eat healthy, even when cooking for yourself. I can go and get two hotdog for like 2$ but to cook myself cost like 3-4 dollars + my time

First... peanuts...

now happy meals?


IS NOTHING SACRED ANYMORE?

 

[Jay]

Is that part of your happy meal?

Haahaa, nice. :laugh:

 

[makare]

1. ewwww


2. I dont care about this either! Damn, have i completely lost my passion to defend my right to eat certain foods? I have grown old and complacent. They may take my happy meals but they never will take my prunes, er dried plums!

 

[Jay]

Well they do use a special secret sauce...

 

[LittleSin]

I don't even....ugh.

It's been said before but I'll say it again: just don't give it to your kids. IUf they kick up a stink just say NO. You are the parent, you can control a child! They'll forget in an hour! They won't hate you for life because you denied them MCDonalds!

Yes, Mcd's is marketed to kids but its the parents that have to bring the children there. Jesus Christ. -_-

 

[Baerdog]

Fuck these busybody douchebags.

 

[Denbrought]

We use different sauces and such than in the US.

Because of stricter laws here the fast food restaurants also serve their food with a much lower fat ratio than their US franchises. I noticed this quick when I first ate a McDonald's in the US. Not to mention the sugar highs from various foods, I nearly OD'd when I had a Krispy Kreme donut.

It's still not healthy food, but having it once in a while certainly isn't gonna kill you or make you stereotypical American sized fat either. Moderation is key. This whole deal is about parents who don't know how to raise their kids.. ..as usual.[/QUOTE]
So *that*'s the problem! From now on I'mma tell you to eat an american sandwich, instead of a normal one.

 

[LordRavage]

I think the best way to solve this problem is for people to simply stop eating. Eating, breathing, sex, drinking, everything is bad for you. It would be in everyone's self interest if we just grabbed some wire and sew up everyone's holes on the human body.

*Pulls out a needle and wire.

The lines starts here. Who's first?

 

[figmentPez]

Forget banning Happy Meals, that's just pie in the sky dreaming and hasn't happened yet. Pay attention to what's already happened! They've banned candy cigarettes! What am I going to do for stick shaped sugar now?
