SUMMARY
A proposal was suggested to ban McDonald for putting toys in Happy Meals in SAN FRANCISCO unless it contains fruit and vegetable and restrict calories. Supervisor Eric Mar state that the law protect the health of constituents. However, McDonald hold the aggressive attitude to fight the measure and oppose that it block the business model and the choice of customers. Another area, Mayor Gavin Newsom set up a law to ban sweetened beverages such as Coca-cola from selling machines on city property. Although he was attacked by the opponent ,he still insist on imposing a fee to McDonalds. Tony Winnicker ,a Newsom spokesman, illustrate that it is not a good time to collect more fees avnd taxes. Supervisor aqqqqqqqqqq Maxwell asked Cynthia Goody which the McDonald’s nutrition director what foods can lower down the rate of obesity. After all ,Goody need some research to support before answering it.
In my opinion, banning Happy Meals toys is not a efficacious ways. Actually , I don’t think banning Happy Meal can prevent the people from eating McDonald. However, I agree that the Happy Meals should add fruits and vegetable instead of French fries because it is not healthy to kids. Collecting more taxes from McDonald maybe the effective way to decrease the number of people eating fastfood.;However , it would limit the choices of customer. As everyone have choice to eat what they like. The government can not overpower everyone. However , The news arouse me a question why the government don’t ban the McDonald directly but to ban the Happy Meal toy. Perhaps , closing all the fastfood shop can be the better way.
