Is it wrong?
California mom sues McDonald's over Happy Meals - Yahoo!7
Personally i don't think so. They do have a point about the cognitive stage of children, but ultimately it is the parents who feed the kids Maccas.
Mind you i don't have kids so i'm not too sure.
But from my own personal experience when i was growing up we had maccas maybe once or twice a year and there was plenty of advertising.
And you know what, i don't remember ever being that upset that i couldn't have it.
What do you guys think?

California mom sues McDonald's over Happy Meals - Yahoo!7
LOS ANGELES (AFP) - A mother-of-two from California launched a class-action lawsuit against McDonald's, claiming the toys given out with Happy Meals unfairly lure kids into eating unhealthy food.
Monet Parham is spearheading the suit backed by the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), aimed at stopping the fast-food giant's use of toys in marketing aimed directly at small children.
The CSPI says such marketing illegally exploits children. Parham says the main reason her six-year-old daughter, Maya, asks to go to McDonald?s is to get toys based on Barbie, i-Carly, Shrek, or Strawberry Shortcake.
"I am concerned about the health of my children and feel that McDonald?s should be a very limited part of their diet and their childhood experience," said Parham, from Sacramento.
