i'm not surprised by this article about fast food not following child health guidelines, but the number not following them is astounding:

"A new study suggests fast food restaurants are not joining in the fight against child obesity.

With the healthy, home-cooked meal being replaced for many by fast food, the report suggests fast food restaurants have not been keeping to their promise of fighting the childhood obesity epidemic.

CBS News has reported that the most comprehensive study into fast food nutrition and marketing has shown that out of more than 3,000 possible meal combinations designed for children at the major chains, only 12 met nutritional guidelines. "

this does not surprise me either. i think cooking at home is best for kids because fast food is not fresh and who knows what that food is made out of. also san francisco banning toys is not the answer, i think parents need to watch over how there children eat, toys are not going to make a difference.

Common sense. I'd like to know which 12 out of 30000 passed the test.
