Now this has gone TOO far

Absolutely 100% with you! We've evidently become a society that cannot think for ourselves whatsoever without the help of someone else getting in our business. Everything else wrong in this world and their major concern is Happy Meal toys?

Not so much just the fact that people can't think for themselves, but I feel that adults DON'T think that kids can! Parents who have kids and think they're gonna become environmental lawyers and doctors and high paying execs as soon as they slide out shouldn't have kids in the first place. That's not responsible.

Again, i can agree with the most basic part of their "thinking." Fast Food isn't mother's milk. No one thinks that. Ask anyone and they'll tell you. French fried make you fat. Cheeseburgers make you fat. Soda makes you fat. We ALL know that, and anyone fooled into thinking eating nothing but unhealthy things will make you live clear into their 90's... I can't even finish that one, cuz even babies know that.

Even then, taking away the kid's toys is just as backward and pointless as trying to get rid of cereal mascots. Then what? Then what else? That's not making kids any thinner. That's not getting kids to eat veggies and grilled chicken breasts with NO sauce. It's taking away from others without actually solving the problem. You don't solve a problem by taking things away (at least in these cases). The Prohibition didn't work. You need to add things... knowledge for one. And it is extremely selfish to make the government take away kid's toys and kiddy junk food because of upper class snobs that only feed organic tofu to their kids, parents that can't deal with their own screaming selfish brats, and child pyschologists/pediatricians that want to say "I took down a big company! Now read my book, and I can charge whatever I want for my services!" What about kids who get it as a treat every so often? What about people who know that (and I gotta stress this) buy the toys separately for collection's sake? They're losing and NO ONE is winning.

Not happy with the idea of taking away childhood. It's like everything we liked as children are now considered as wrong. I guess making children think that being children is wrong. I don't like the idea of making someone feel bad just beceause they like a certan thing. I'm a bit of a kid myself but that dosen't make me stupid. Not sounding upset just dissapointed that kinds just can't be their selves.
