CSPI and McDonalds Law Suit due to Happy Meal Toys

California Mother and CSPI Class Action Suit Against McDonald's Happy Meal Toys:

I know you guys have been dying to know what I think of this class action suit, right? Well here it goes-- this whole law suit is nothing but rubbish.Its complete NONSENSE and I can not believe it is garnering all this attention.And let me tell you why.

Parents today can not control their kids--- many of them.YOU as a parent, do NOT have to take your kid to McDs, Burger King, or any other place that has toys with their meals.But yet parents do not know how to say NO to their kids and let their kids control them.So when the kids starts crying saying,"i want mcDonalds NOWWWWWWWWWWWWW" then the parents want to make them quiet and give in to what the kid wants.The kid doesnt work, and half of the time the kid may not even be potty trained yet, but yet the kid wants McDS. How does the kid even know what McDonalds is?Did McDonalds give birth to your child?Did McDs come to your house and spend a day with your child brainwashing them? NO! Instead, you as a parent, took your child to McDonalds.And when you did, you did NOT buy them the healthy stuff. You got them the fries and the nuggets, and ensured that your kid got the toy so that they would be happy and quiet in the car.But now you are complaining that McDonalds is deceptive!!!! This is RUBBISH!!!!

Let me enlighten you guys-- you do NOT have to buy a HAPPY MEAL to get the toy.Being the toy freak that I am, trust me, I know. Yesterday i drove to McDonalds, got a smoothie and PAID to buy the Happy Meal toy- it cost around $2 something and I got the Hello Kitty series watch-the Keroppi watch. You do NOT have to buy the meal to get the toy.Doesnt everyone know that?!?!?!?!?
To hear Monet Parham say "I object to the fact that McDonald's is getting into my kids' heads without my permission and actually changing what my kids want to eat" is rubbish.HOw did McDs get into your kids head?Arent YOU the one who introduced your kid to McDs because you didnt feel like cooking on some days when your kid was hungry.Did McDs FORCE you to get the Hapy Meal?How long has your kid been eating Happy Meals-- probably before they could read right? so how did they know what to ask for? Did your kid talk to the person at the McDs counter when they were 2 or 3 and say,"i want a Happy Meal." NO!! The PARENT said it, not the child. Dont blame McDonalds for your irresponsible behavior.Im not saying that eating at McDs is irresponsible, but what I am saying is that it is irresponsible to blame McDs for supposedly "enticing" your kids to eat unhealthy meals." Who pays for the meal, the kid or the parent?My point exactly.
You can go to the store, buy a salad and stop by McDonalds and buy the toy solo, so this lawsuit is rubbish, as I stated earlier.

Heres point # 2: to say that having a toy in the meal is causing bad behavior is CRAZY!! When i go to the store, they have BUY ONE GET ONE FREE sales. They do it with toothbrushes, mouthwash,cookies, everything.
So do I have the right to sue Colgate and say, 'I am suing Colgate because my gums are bleeding due to overbrushing , which happened due to Colgate enticing me to buy 2 toothbrushes instead of one.' Can i say Colgate is violating the law by using a free toothbrush to market teeth brushing to kids?
Do you see my point or do you need another example?

Noone can force you to do anything you do not want to do.if you go to Africa, none of those kids know what McDonalds is because the parents have never taken them there.
So in summary: This McDs lawsuit is rubbish and I will continue to go to McDs to buy my Happy Meal toy, minus the actual meal. I just want the toy.You too can go to McDs and just buy the toy.
