No more ‘happy meals’

Editor,

In San Francisco, a city board of supervisors voted 8-3 to prohibit fast food restaurants from placing toys in “Happy Meals” that have more than 600 calories. Well, their price is decent and “you rich folks,” some families can’t afford a $7 hamburger.

When a state allows a group of “health food nuts” to regulate what a person or child can or can’t eat, we have allowed communism to take over our brains and bodies too. “Happy Meals” may be the only treat some child may get, toy included. They certainly aren’t going to eat the toy.

Have you ever been poor? I was 14-years-old before I even got to taste a restaurant hamburger and fries. It was good. I did not die from it and somehow have survived bacon, butter and potatoes for 79 years. 

Are they next going to put a government bracelet on every person and child to be sure they don’t over eat or watch TV for more than an hour a day? If people carry a few extra pounds, that’s their business.

It’s legal to smoke “marijuana” but no french fries. Wow, whose brain will go first?

It’s time we stop being brainwashed and stand up for ourselves.
