Santa Clara county of California has made it illegal for resturuants to entice children to eat unhealthy food by offering them toys. They say these little toys lead to children to feast on unhealthy, fatty, greasy foods. But should the county tell parents what their kids should eat? A fast food resturuant says no. They don't beleive a county should be substituting its judgement for the judgement of the parents in making the decision. Supporters counted studies that said one in four or more of the kids in the county are overweight or obese. They say the toys are the cause. A mom with five children said "It starts off with I'm hungry, and then it goes to what the toy looks like, and so I know exactly where its going". Los Angeles should make them illegal too ;D!
