[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP...  Complaining about a healthy food option being made available for kids has got to be one of the stupidest right wing freakouts I've seen all week.

But hey, you do you.[/quote]

Moderate Democrat here.  This is simply a silly law that simply was not needed.  Just because some idiot (who likely has never had a real job) came up with idea does not make it a good one.  I suspect 90% of the MC restaurants satisfy the standard.  A solution, as noted above, looking for a problem.  [/quote]

More like 90% of restaurants only have some generic Sysco junk food items like breaded fried chicken nuggets and french fries as their kids menu item.[/quote]

What there a real problem here?  What evidence?[/quote]

Is there a real problem with breaded fried chicken nuggets and french fries as the typical option on the menu for kids?  Are you for real?[/quote]

The question is whether restaurants offer nothing else.  My guess is that most restaurants already offer something healthy.  So, your perspective is highly misleading.  Are you suggesting restaurants should be prohibited from offering nuggets and fries.  Are you suggesting parents should be prohibited from ordering nuggets and fries for their kids?  Where is the evidence that a real problems exists, namely that few restaurants offer healthy options?  Again, a solution looking for a problem.  But I am pleased that the Council feels good about themselves.[/quote]
