Fast-food Moves around SanFran Toy Ban
San Francisco's "Happy Meal" ban went into effect today in the city's efforts to curb childhood obesity. Fast-food meals aren't allowed to have free toys bundled in. The two largest quick service restaurant chains have found a simple way to accomodate the new regulation.
As the ban took effect, fast food giant McDonald's kicked off its plan to charge 10 cents for Happy Meal toys, thus complying with the new law. McDonald's says the extra dime will be donated to its Ronald McDonald House charity to accommodate families of sick children at the new University of California, San Francisco hospital now under construction… Now Burger King has followed suit, the San Francisco Chronicle reports. BK spokeswoman Kristin Hauser told the Chronicle the company plans to charge 10 cents for toys starting today, but hasn't decided what to do with the proceeds. – CBS News
