Happy Meal toys.jpg
Happy Meal Toys - In California, Santa Clara and San Francisco Counties passed separate ordinances in 2010, preventing restaurants from offering toys to children in conjunction with "unhealthful food and beverage choices." This included meals of 600 calories or more that didn't include enough fruits and vegetables. The so-called Happy Meal ordinance was easily passed by the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in an 8-3 vote. McDonald's responded by announcing that they would start charging 10-cents for toys in Happy Meals.
Large drinks.jpg
Sugary Drinks - In 2012, then New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg proposed the "Portion Cap Rule" limiting the sale of sugary beverages to 16oz. The ban applied to restaurants, delis, movie theaters and sports stadiums. Bloomberg pushed for it as a means of fighting obesity. Restaurants, the soft-drink industry and a majority of New Yorkers hated it. The Board of Health unanimously approved, but the New York State Court of Appeals ruled against the ban, writing that the city’s Board of Health “exceeded the scope of its regulatory authority” in enacting the proposal.
