San Francisco Supervisor explains kids’ meal ordinance
Eric Mar from San Francisco's Board of Supervisors discusses how a new ordinance will fight childhood obesity and his response to the opposition's argument that the law intrudes on parents' right to choose what their children eat.
On Tuesday, Nov. 9, San Francisco's Board of Supervisors, over the objection of Mayor Gavin Newsom, passed a new law requiring fast-food restaurants in the city to improve the nutritional content of children's meals that include toys, such as the McDonald's Happy Meal.
Supervisor Eric Mar, sponsor of the ordinance, spoke with American City & County about how the new rule will fight childhood obesity and his response to the opposition's argument that the law intrudes on parents' right to choose what their children eat.
