    Hamburgalar Outsmarts Eric Lee Mar San Fran's Supervisor

    On Thursday, Dec. 1, the city’s de facto ban of the Happy Meal commences. San Francisco has accomplished what the Hamburglar could not. Or has it?

    MY EDIT: This clownery is sponsored by City Supervisor Eric Lee Mar

    In order to include a toy with a meal, restaurants must now comply with city-generated nutritional standards. Those are standards that even the “healthier” Happy Meals McDonald’s introduced earlier this year don’t come close to meeting. (As SF Weekly noted in January, the school lunches our children eat aren’t healthy enough to qualify, either).

    And yet it seems McDonald’s has turned lemons into lemonade — and is selling the sugary drink to San Francisco’s children. Local McDonald’s employees tell SF Weekly the company has devised a solution that appears to comply with San Francisco’s “Healthy Meal Incentive Ordinance” that could actually make the company more money — and necessitate toy-happy youngsters to buy more Happy Meals.

    It turns out San Francisco has not entirely vanquished the Happy Meal as we know it. Come Dec. 1, you can still buy the Happy Meal. But it doesn’t come with a toy. For that, you’ll have to pay an extra 10 cents.

    I must admit that I enjoy Mickie D's every once in a while. I find it hysterically funny when clowns (no pun intended) like Mar get greased especially by the Clown. BTW, for those of you interested, Mr. Mar tried to make it manditory for a city wide day of protest against the war in 2003 his attempted bill failed but several of his cohorts followed him out the door for the day at the expense of the taxpayer.

    Mar is also responsible for the failed attempt at trying to get a resolution passed to have the charges dropped against the San Francisco 8 even after one of the men confessed and the rest were cleared.

    Mar ALSO was responsible for removing the the JROTC program from San Fran high schools which, by the way, had a very high enrollment rate of Asian Americans, Mar being Asian American.

    And yet, for some reason, he keeps getting voted back in.
    Meddle not in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

    Abusing Yellow is meant to be a labor of love, not something you sell to the highest bidder.

    That speaks volumes about the "voters" there.

    I have many friends and some family that live out there and I cannot, for the life of me, figure out why they stay. But the funny thing is when I think of California the first thing my ming changes is the name of the state and that is to Moronica.

    So...Welcome to San Francisco, Moronica!

    Yet another proof that businesses will always outmaneuver government regulations at the expense of the consumers.

    Dammit, gunnut, it took you almost four hours to respond a thread about San Francisco kooks.

    You're slowing down, bud.

    No, not slowing down. Just waking up.
