they call it a wasteland, baby.

Apparently a County in California has decided to ban toys from certain kids meals in an effort to encourage healthy eating. This has absolutely no chance of working. None at all. Instead of kids choosing a salad to get some crappy toy this county is going to end up with a whole bunch of angry, chubby, greasy-faced kids looking for a fight. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if we end up with a Children of the Corn situation in Santa Clara a few months from now.

One thing I learned very early on as a parent: never (and I mean never) come between a kid and his Happy Meal toy. Bad things are bound to happen.
