Happy Meal Toys

McDonald's CEO Jim Skinner is pushing back pretty hard in response to an advocacy group's demand that it stop including toys with its Happy Meals. "Parents, in particular, strongly believe they have the right and responsibility to decide what's best for their children," Mr. Skinner writes. The advocacy group had likened McDonald's to "the stranger in the playground handing out candy to children."

The blogger Soccer Dad praises Mr. Skinner's response, as does the American Council of Science and Health.
