The point is that the TOY is what the kids want and the parents put better judgement aside for sake of the toy. While this may sound ridiculous to any decent parent, you'd be amazed how well the toy works in getting families to Mc D's for a Happy Meal.
Underneath all of this is an underlying problem that is not unique to Mc Donalds, or even the fast food industry but extends into many other industries as well -Pharmaceuticals come to mind- where profits (often obscene ones) are put ahead of the well being of the client.
Of course it's your RIGHT to feed your child and yourself whatever you want however since there is so little good judgement out there and the health care costs are out of control as a result, it's governments' responsibility to step in and force industry to stop taking advantage of people who can't take care of themselves.

Yeah, but is that going to stop the mother/father from buying a burger, fries and pop at McD's. Just cause they ban, because of the toy, wont' decrease the sales, they will just have to buy them as seperate items.
Again, very stupid overall.... And what I am trying to get across to people is what right does government have to start banning things like this? And where will it stop? If we, the people don't voice ourselves and say ENOUGH, eventually what will become of our freedoms?
