SAN FRANCISCO An elected official in San Francisco has asked the city attorney’s office to draft an ordinance similar to one passed last week in a nearby county that would prohibit restaurants from bundling toys with children’s meals that do not meet specific nutritional guidelines.
The move Wednesday by Eric Mar, supervisor for the city and county of San Francisco’s District 1, followed the adoption of a similar measure in Santa Clara County. Cassandra Costello, Mar’s legislative assistant, said it was too early to tell how the San Francisco supervisor’s ordinance might differ from the Santa Clara rule or when he will bring it to the full board or a committee for consideration.An elected official in San Francisco has asked the city attorney’s office to draft an ordinance similar to one passed last week in a nearby county that would prohibit restaurants from bundling toys with children’s meals that do not meet specific nutritional guidelines.

Unless an acceptable and voluntary alternative proposal is offered by the restaurant industry, the Santa Clara County ordinance will become law for a relatively small number of restaurants in unincorporated areas 90 days after its April 27 adoption. It is intended as a tool to battle the growing problem of childhood obesity.

Proponents of the Santa Clara County ordinance said it will help reduce childhood obesity by countering the marketing might of restaurant chains and their practice of offering toys or other incentives, such as online game play, with kids’ meals, some of which, critics contend, are high in calories, sugar and fat.An elected official in San Francisco has asked the city attorney’s office to draft an ordinance similar to one passed last week in a nearby county that would prohibit restaurants from bundling toys with children’s meals that do not meet specific nutritional guidelines.

Opponents, including the California Restaurant Association and franchisees of McDonald’s and Burger King, said restaurant chains are already at work devising more healthful options for kids’ menus. Restricting toys in kids’ meals will not address the problem of obesity as well as broadening general education about healthy food choices, they contended, but such rules may upset restaurant patrons with children.An elected official in San Francisco has asked the city attorney’s office to draft an ordinance similar to one passed last week in a nearby county that would prohibit restaurants from bundling toys with children’s meals that do not meet specific nutritional guidelines.
