As expected, the Board of Supervisors today bucked Mayor Gavin Newsom, and overrode his veto of legislation to bar fast-food restaurants from giving away toys in kids meals sold in San Francisco unless they have reduced calories, salt, fat and sugar and also include fruit and vegetables.
The restrictions, vigorously opposed by McDonald’s, the California Restaurant Association and other representatives of the fast-food industry, are set to take effect in December 2011.
