MARIJUANA, BUT NO "HAPPY MEALS"

In San Francisco, a city board of supervisors voted 8-3 to prohibit 
fast food restaurants from including toys in "happy meals" that have 
more than 600 calories. Well, the price of a happy meal is decent and 
some families can't afford a $7 hamburger.

When a state allows a group of health food nuts to regulate what an 
adult or child can or can't eat, we have allowed communism to take 
over our brains and bodies, too. Happy meals may be the only treat 
some child may get, toy included.

Have you ever been poor? I was 14 years old before I even got to 
taste a restaurant hamburger and fries. It was good. I did not die 
from it and, somehow, have survived bacon, butter and potatoes for 79 years.

Next, are they going to put a government bracelet on everyone to be 
sure they don't overeat or watch television for over an hour a day? 
If a person carries a few extra pounds, that's their business.

Wow, it's legal to smoke medical marijuana, but not eat French fries. 
Wow, whose brain will go first?

It's time we stop being brainwashed and stand up for ourselves.
