The Consumer Advocacy Group, which is based out of Washington, DC is giving McDonald's 30 days to pull the toys out of their Happy Meals!
They believe the inclusion of the toys in the Happy Meals are putting pressure on parents to buy them for their kids, and therefore, is illegal (in some states).
If the Consumer Advocacy Group is really that concern about the obesity rate in children, they should also sue Burger King, Wendy's, KFC, Popeye's, Red Robin, and all pizza restaurants and have them serve all low-fat ingredients, baked, instead of deep-fried foods.
It has absolutely nothing to do with the toys!!
Not only is the Consumer Advocacy Group wanting to sue McDonalds, but also Kellogg's, who markets DVDs, a chance to win a Nintendo DSI, advertised on their cereal boxes. They should also sue companies that has those silly "Box Tops for Education" on their processed products.
Don't you think that the reason companies include special offers, rebates, toys, and coupons is because they want YOU to buy their product? That gives an incentive to consumers to pick their product versus another.

McDonald's has my support! I see nothing wrong with including a toy in their Happy Meals. Most parents are smart. They exercise their freedom of choice to buy a fast foods or serve their own kids a home-cooked meal.
Fast food tastes good! Once in a while, it's ok to eat french fries, and chicken tenders or hamburgers. Even the U.S. Olympic Athletes eat at McDonald's-- one of their biggest sponsors!
