Unhappy Mother Sues McDonald's Over Happy Meal Toys

A San Francisco mother is suing the fast food giant, claiming Happy Meal toys encourage unhealthy eating habits.

■Class discussion: This isn't all that far-fetched. As the video points out, last month, San Francisco banned promotional toys served with meals that don't meet nutritional standards. What do you think? Should the government force McDonalds and other fast food restaurants to stop giving out toys? Or is it the parents' responsibility to decide what's good for their children?
