hahahaha geez. i remember eating happy meals/kids meals to get the toys and stuff, but dang this is ridiculous. once again this is why education is so important, adults/parents especially need to be educated to make sure their children don't become obese before they have a chance to figure out how their body works themselves.

Don't they have a healthy choice happy meal? Like with No fries, a fruit or yogurt and juice instead of cola?

Also just let you kid play in the restaurants playground for an hour

Exactly. The kids aren't getting the meal for the toy, they are getting the meal because the parents bought it. The toy is just a "bonus." It has nothing to do with the toy and everything to do with the parents buying the meal.

What if they get chicken nuggets?

how about parents actually parent their kids instead of buying them fast food shit all the time and then let them park their ass in front of tv/video games for rest of day. how about they spend some quality time with them. make them go outside and shit. this is why the government makes all these laws, cause people have no sense of personal responsibility anymore. they always blame everyone else. or they sue someone for it. cause its never their fault. i was raised bad, blah blah. i was abused. blah blah. i need medication, blah blah. fucking get a clue instead how about that?
