Yea know a lot of people out there hate McDonald’s cause it is a “fast food” and the menu isn’t the “healthiest” if your eating every day and now there is this whole “pink slime” controversy which had McDonald’s removing their meat filler. But the fact is McDonald’s is always finding its self in court from scorching hot coffee to its Happy Meal toys. Filed at the California Superior Court in San Francisco. A Lawsuit field against McDonald’s Happy Meals, by consumer group Center for the Science in the Public Interest on behalf of Monet Parham, a mother of two from Sacramento, who says: “getting into my kids’ heads without my permission and actually changing what my kids want to eat.”

The judge dismissed the case and McDonald’s USA spokeswoman Danya Proud said: “As we have maintained throughout these proceedings, we believe this lawsuit is without merit and detracts from the important issue of children’s health and nutrition. We are proud of our Happy Meals and will vigorously defend our brand, our reputation and our food. We stand on our 30-year track record of providing a fun experience for kids and families at McDonald’s.”

Consumer group Center for the Science in the Public Interest responded with: “McDonald’s must stop exploiting children at some point,” the organization stated. “Using toys, of all things, to lure young children to fast-food meals is not responsible corporate behavior. It’s a predatory practice that undermines parents, causes rifts in families, and harms kids’ health.”
