Moms Talk Q&A: No More Happy Meals?

Moms Talk is a feature on Enumclaw Patch that is part of a new initiative on our Patch sites to reach out to moms and families. 

Enumclaw Patch invites you and your circle of friends to help build a community of support for mothers and their families right here in Enumclaw and the surrounding Plateau.

Moms Talk is your place to drop in for a talk about the latest parenting hot topic. Where can we get information on local flu shot clinics for children? How can we help our children's schools weather their budget cutbacks?

And you don't need to be a mom to chime in the conversation!

So grab a cup of coffee and settle in as we start the conversation today with this question: San Francisco has banned fast food restaurants from including toys with meals that are viewed as unhealthy and include too much fat, calories, and sodium. Now, New York City's considering a similar ban. What do you think? Is this another instance of government overstepping its bounds or is the move a logical one in helping the nation to turn around its childhood obesity epidemic? If a ban like this were enacted where you live, do you think it'd influence how often you'd visit fast food restaurants?
