In the 8-1 vote in favor of the bill, County Council Member Andrew Friedson was the only one opposed. He unsuccessfully tried to amend the bill to exempt smaller restaurants.[/quote]
This is insane. How does a ramen shop comply? Or a pupuseria? And why should they have to?[/quote]

They don’t. This legislation is so stupid. Kudos to Andrew Friedson for his sanity. The solution is for restaurants to no longer offer any children’s menu to avoid having some unappealing meal on hand that no one orders. Congratulations County Council. You’ve just eliminated reasonably priced kids meals for families who rely on them to feed their children. Good grief. [/quote]

If a family is “relying (on restaurant kid meals) to feed their children,” they’re doing it wrong. Go to the grocery store.[/quote]
