What is surprising to me is not that the Board of Supervisors has banned the happy meal – one would expect such an action from these Leftist fanatics – but that Mayor Gavin Newsom vetoed the ban.
“Parents, not politicians, should decide what their children eat, especially when it comes to spending their own money.”
“Despite its good intentions, I cannot support this unwise and unprecedented governmental intrusion into parental responsibilities and private choices.”
Imagine, a politician in San Francisco that actually has some common sense. He actually sounds like he is a Libertarian.
He just doesn’t like looking like a fool. The Bd. of Stupes obviously has no problem with it.
They can’t’ give away a toy with a happy meal. what if they sell it for a penny or a nickle? Since they actually do account for the cost of the toy in the meal price…
