Ban on Fast Food Toys

Santa Clara County in California is considering a ban on children's toys that are given away with meals at fast-food restaurants, the Financial Times reports. The FT quotes the president of the California Restaurant Association: "Ultimately, parents decide what their children eat and whether a meal includes a toy or not - that is the role of a parent...Most parents can resist their children's pressure to get a toy. The county government does not need to serve as the parent of the parents."
