No justice, no peas!

San Francisco has banned Happy Meals. Little kids can no longer get a toy with their chicken nuggets and fries. How un-American is that?

City Supervisor Eric Mar sponsored the bill which requires fruits and vegetables if a toy is included in the meal. "We're part of a movement that is moving forward an agenda of food justice." Food justice? Is he serious? I'm not sure what "food justice" is. Does it mean the ACLU will be filing suits against Baskin-Robbins demanding that the civil rights of broccoli and carrots be protected?

That this man even said such an incredibly stupid thing is scary. But what's even scarier is that the media evidently fell for it hook, line, and sinker. There is no common sense anymore!
