Killjoy California Buzzards Want to Ban Happy Meal Toys. . . .WTF?

According to jammiewearingfool.blogspot.com:

To borrow one of the left's most cherished cliches: How mean-spirited! So under the guise of "protecting the children" they'll just create a bunch of unhappy ones.

How special.

The latest target in the battle over fast food is something you shouldn't even put in your mouth.

Convinced that Happy Meals and other food promotions aimed at children could make kids fat as well as happy, county officials in Silicon Valley are poised to outlaw the little toys that often come with high-calorie offerings.

The proposed ban is the latest in a growing string of efforts to change the types of foods aimed at youngsters and the way they are cooked and sold. Across the nation, cities, states and school boards have taken aim at excessive sugar, salt and certain types of fats.

Believed to be the first of its kind in the nation, the proposal would forbid the inclusion of a toy in any restaurant meal that has more than 485 calories, more than 600 mg of salt or high amounts of sugar or fat. In the case of McDonald's, the limits would include all of the chain's Happy Meals — even those that include apple sticks instead of French fries.

Supporters say the ban would encourage restaurants to offer more-nutritious foods to kids and would make unhealthful items less appealing. But opponents believe it amounts to government meddling in parental decisions. The Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors will consider the proposal Tuesday.

Even though it's largely symbolic — the proposed ban would apply only to the dozen fast-food restaurants within the jurisdiction of the board — the proposal has caused a bit of an uproar on the Internet, where comments on YouTube and other sites say it is another example of the "nanny state" gone wild.

No kidding. What a bunch of miserable cretins.

The California Restaurant Assn. has taken out full-page newspaper advertisements against the proposed ordinance in local newspapers. One shows a little girl with her hands cuffed behind her back as she holds a stuffed animal.

Another opponent wrote in a YouTube posting, "I want to know when the pitchforks and torches and rope is going to come out.... We need to run these Frankenstein politician monsters the hell out of town!"

It started in the schools and has now moved to fast food . . . .This needs to be stopped before the Food Nazis show up at your front door.

My dear friend Leo must be turning over in her grave. . . .She always loved her McDonald toys. . . .

The War on Agriculture Continues

According to Gregory of Yardale at moonbattery.com

For the sake of a two-inch fish called the Delta Smelt, California's Eco-hippies have turned the Central Valley… where 40% of America's food was once produced… into a dust bowl.

Not satisfied with 40% unemployment in Central Valley towns, California's Eco-hippies are now targeting the ranching industry. The hippies are upset because the "pristine" water in the places they like to backpack contains tiny amounts of cow poopy.

Their proposal is to ban cattle ranching in the Sierras, and convert current cattle grazing lands into national parks.

"At one time, cattle were important for developing civilization here," said Derlet. "But now, with 40 million people in California, the Sierra is not for cattle. It's for water. We need water more than Big Macs."

I guess it never occurred to the hippies that bears and elk also crap in their precious water.
