We had a chain elsewhere about similar steps out in "Free California", but SF just passed a law in which they're banning toys in children's meals unless they're arbitrarily healthy.
Horseshit.
1. They have no right passing shit like this.
2. KIDS DON'T HAVE PURCHASING POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!
I cannot emphasis #2 enough!!! Stop blaming companies and try being a fucking parent!!!

I'm actually for this.
I'd love more fruit and veggie options at fast food restaurants.

Apparently no one else cares, if the local government needs to legislate menus at restaurants.
San Francisco is good for that shit, though. They don't allow any chain restaurants in large parts of the city. If you are a visitor there, it is always a crap shoot whether or not you will like what restaurants are in the area, because you've never heard of any of them and you end up making blind guesses.

So is there a level at which it is OK for governments to make decisions like these? It's clearly one thing for the federal government to do it, but what about state/county/city?

On one hand, no. Â The gov't has absolutely zero rights to impose dietary constraints except in circumstances where a particular crop of food is infected. Â They already steal my money & control other parts of my life, stay the fuck out of my digestive tract.
On the other hand, if the gov't foots the bill for the negative consequences of obesity/shitty nutrition, they've got a financial interest in keeping the numbers down.

Yeah, but if the later is assumed to be true, then they logically have a vested interest in keeping their costs low. Granted that's just one more reason for them to stay the fuck out of public health care.
