Happy Meal Lawsuit Dismissed By California Judge

Seriously? Back away from this one. Foolish lawsuits are just rediculous.

Who's actually paying for the meal? The child or the adult? If the parents don't want to give their kids happy meals don't effing buy them!

I think this lawsuit is frivolous! I mean come on, undermining parenting? The only thing parents have to do is set ground rules on when the child gets the toy! Mine don't get it unless they eat all of their food!

I think this lawsuit is completely absurd! Adding toys to a happy meal isn't exploitation, it's clever MARKETING! (which I'm sure is why they are the biggest fast food chain in the world). I'm not a fan of feeding my kids alot of junk food, and as a parent, I have the right and ability to tell them NO. It's the same as blaming cable companies and cartoons for kids today being lazy. If you consistantly let kids have what they want, they will take advantage. It's human nature. Hey parents, LEARN TO TELL YOUR KIDS NO! And to Ms. Parham, GET A LIFE!

Cant we please start locking people up with no common sense. PLease. My life would be so much less stressful.

Toys to sell horrible food. How else are they going to sell that garbage? ( Boobs to sell everything else, the American way.) If a grown person cannot keep a small child from getting their way about eating crappy food, or anything else, for that matter, then they deserve the ignorance they are visiting on themselves. If you can't teach a kid what 'no' means for their own health and safety, much less for respect and consideration for other humans, you probably aren't qualified to raise children in the first place. Unfortunately, the lack of skills, common sense and knowledge does not prevent procreation.

Waste of tax payers dollars, filing a suit like this. Who's in charge the parents or the children. Who's driving to McDonalds to buy the food, not the children.

McDonald's has been around for over 50 years and they have never didn't anything but provide meals for people! People don't have to eat there, they can go else where because that still wouldn't put a hurting on McDonald's pockets at all! McDonald's will always be here providing services to their customers and the people that uses them to feed their children instead of cooking 5 to 6 nights a week are the ones that are idiots, so before anyone can complain about the food chain, they need to look at the big picture and that's lazy parents who never wants to cook for their children are keeping the food chains in business and for the ones to use work as an excuse- your full of crap because its many of parents and most single parents that still cook, and maintain a very busy schedule in life and still make tome to cook a full meal for their children and hot dogs and microwave meals don't count either! They need to get off their lazy tails and add 30 to 45mins to cook dinner and they can even buy a crook pot or roaster for the meat! Its too many appliances out there to help with time but these fastfood chain parents are just lazy idiots that's all who are full of BS excuses and they wonder why their kids are fat, out of shape and don't respect them! They need to look at the big entire picture and not what they want to look at! You can be amased what children think,feel,say, and tell others when your not there! Communication is the key also! Talk to your children about everything even if you don't feel it something to talk about, maybe its important to them and bothers them! Don't let them get advice from someone on the streets because it may be wrong or you will lose the love to someone else they are willing to call mom or dad to since you weren't there for the little things! Hint Hint!

That person had a choice to either go or not to go, buy or not buy from McDonalds. Go find something to do constructive with your life!

Oh, and we don't generally eat fast food, we usually cook! When we do get fast food like McDonald's its usually a "treat" not a weekly thing on payday, or just because, its usually because they did great at the dr.s office for whatever reason we were there, be it serial casting or the latest botox injections to help my sons cerebral palsy!!! Or just plain cooperating with the doc and his staff!!!

We wouldn't have the room to jail all the morons. Think about it, there roughly 313,303,000 people in the U.S. if you are of average intelligence that means there are about 157 million people dumber than you are. I agree 100% but we should just be able to "cull the herd" of the repeat offenders.

I cannot believe that anyone would sue over this. It just shows that the parent is not in control of the child but that the child is in control of the parent. If you don't want your kids to eat junk food just say NO! It is as easy as that. If you are so kid whipped that you can't, don't or won't tell your child no then do not blame McDonalds. Blame yourself.

Oh, and another thing. I think the person or persons who brought the lawsuit should repay any money spent by McDonalds on lawyers and expenses associated with fighting the lawsuit, and pay all court costs. You are just wasting taxpayers money because you are a wimp where your children are concerned.

Omg really grow up who is the parent say no if you don't want your kid to have a happy meal that's what we all being a parent so do it.That's what's wrong with the world kids run the home and parents jump not in my home I'm them parent.

Healthier eating is good, but why worry about toys in a meal…kids love'em. But to side with MickeyD…some of my fondest memories are of going to the land of the golden arches and their toys…

Wow how sad, this person had nothing better 2 do or probably was in desperate need of money.

you tell them

*ridiculous

i am glad you corrected you ridiculous spelling error.

Aaron Parsons, shut up

They've had toys in happy meals since I was a kid and it's now a problem??? Ms. Parham, grow a brain!

For as long as I can remember, breakfast cereals full of sugar had toys inside to increase sales to children. Cereal high in sugar is eye level of children at the store while the healthier products are at the eye level of the parent. It is the parent's responsibility to make the decisions and educate their children. Take the opportunity to read the labels with your child and give them the opportunity to make better choices based on facts, not hype.
