The McDonald's Happy Meal has been a childhood staple for thousands of people around world. The cardboard box with the yellow arches, small fries, cheeseburger, drink, and the plastic toy are all the ingredients in creating the Happy Meal.But not anymore.
The Board of Supervisors in San Fransisco have banned Happy Meals with toys in order to help efforts against childhood obesity, reports an article from CNN.com.
The article explains that the toys entice children into eating unhealthily. If McDonald's wishes to continue keeping toys in their Happy Meal, they must make them healthier by adding fruits and vegetables by December 2011.
While it's important to make sure children have healthy meal choices, it stings a little bit to see the classic McDonald's Happy Meal go.
