Sure, the toys have gone, numbers will drop a little. However, it will not change the fact that kids do not know what grease and fat is in these foods. The grease and fat melts on our tongue therefore make it more then satisfactory to our tastes, people will keep going to McDonalds regardless.

Not my problem.

No one told anyone of you to go to McDonalds in the first place. My first time to McDonalds was when I was 11, and from then on I only eat it once a month.

its a shame this isn't currently in canada.

So does that mean that McDonald's won't have Happy Meals anymore??? Or do you still have Happy Meals but just not the toys with them..
Also, is this ban effective in Canada? I live in Canada, so I just wanted to know if I can still have Happy Meals in my country. Good thing they banned those Happy Meals. I saw this movie called SuperSize Me, and this guy, he goes on a McDonalds diet for a month. He gains a ton of weight and becomes very sick.. You should watch it, it makes you doubt McDonalds' food. Are you making the right choice by eating unhealthy shakes and ice cream and burgers????

Well if you go eat at McDonald's every single day for a whole month, then it's surely unhealthy.
But grabbing a veggie burger or a portion of French fries once in a while isn't going to kill anyone.

Oh and I don't really understand what it's supposed to change. So kids should better not buy those happy meals with a small-sized burger and a small-sized fries anymore...no, THEY BETTER TAKE THOSE TRIPLE-SIZE MAXI BURGERS MENUS NOW!!!

Does anyone know when McDonalds first started having happy meal toys cause I wanna make a plaque about that since that moment died today?

actually i've heard america's been shutting down any restaurants that are selling toys. america will will soon have to deal with the recession and the great depression: the sequel.

[quote name='~King Crouton~' timestamp='1289189995' post='4771027']When I was a kid, I was hell-bent on getting all 6 six rangers and nagged and nagged for more Happy Meals until I got all 6.[/quote]
Those were epic

[quote name='~King Crouton~' timestamp='1289189995' post='4771027']Same thing happened with Pokemon when Burger King released those stuffed animal ones in the Pokeballs and the gold trading cards. I was nagging my mom everyday for Burger King just for the toys, and my family wanted McDonald's.
[/quote]
The 'gold trading cards' were just gold colored metal bars, really.... But nonetheless, those were awesome xD

It's because America is full of idiots who want to do nothing but find ways to excuse their own failures.
[/quote]
It's also full of stupid dumbasses who like to make generalizations based on the actions of a few.

Heres the thing...why reward kids with toys for unhealthy decisions

Because, the government wants to control our lives. Next, they'll ban free refills on drinks because soda has too much sugar and is too harmful to human health for a free refill.
[/quote]We didn't even get this until the late 90's. The only place that even does it over here is Hungry Jacks (Americans know it as Burger King) and paid refills at Subway. Everywhere else, it's unheard of.
