When children open their kids' meals from McDonald's or Burger King, they're probably looking forward to one thing the most: the plastic toy inside.
However, if these two children are successful, that will be a thing of the past.'use strict';CNN.Videx=CNN.Videx || {};CNN.Videx.mobile={};CNN.INJECTOR.executeFeature.then {CNN.VideoPlayer.handleUnmutePlayer=function handleUnmutePlayer {'use strict';var playerInstance,playerPropertyObj,rememberTime,unmuteCTA,unmuteIdSelector='unmute_' + containerId,isPlayerMute;dataObj=dataObj || {};if ==='fave') {playerInstance=FAVE.player.
The evolution of the Happy Meal 01:29Sisters Ella and Caitlin McEwan, ages 9 and 7, started a petition to call on the fast-food giants to stop putting plastic toys in their kids' meals. The girls say they were spurred to act after they learned in school about the harm that plastic does to wildlife and the environment.As of Wednesday, the petition had over 343,000 signatures, with a goal of 500,000."We know our young guests really enjoy their King Jr.
News_Resource the useless waste of plastic is indeed a thing we need to consider. But which evil bastard coerced a 7 and 9 year old that if they don't release their toys they will be doomed?
Teach your kids not to eat toys....be a parent
Parents.
It’s a good thing. McDonalds can spend the $ on organic chicken
Enter the most boring children ever.
The joyless insane liberals at it again.yeah! You .
And they thought of this all by themselves.
Books For Kid
If these kids want to help the environment they should just stay home and play Fortnite.
First they came for Saturday Morning cartoons, and I said nothing...
if it brings happiness to some children. It shouldn't be banned. seeing kids smile is priceless. if kids don't play and will act like adults, it will be messed up . if you give them books how much more education can you force to a child if they are and will be studying for 20yrs
Tbh the plastic toys taste better than the food but that’s another discussion. Good on you girls! ✊🏼
Thank God I was a kid when I was
Please find them a Therapist
The eating of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) followed the best food that was eaten by the children of the Qur'an and their education on the religion of Islam and the biography of the Prophet Muhammad
It's probably the parents using the kids to go 'viral'?
Would’ve sworn both their names would be Karen.
Kids will grow up hating Ella & Caitlin.
that must be because they are a health hazard like hypodermic needles and human waste in the streets. smh
Lol ok
I am pretty sure that they aren’t finding kiddie toys in the bellies of marine life. 😒
If you feed your kid McDonald's or Burger King you probably wish you had an abortion before your Christian extremist friends found out you were pregnant.
How about take the food out that is destroying your little 7 and 9 year old bodies!
Go back to little stuffed animals
QWERTYMSMSMSM Go stream megatron ladies
Let's feed the kids shit and worry about the plastic toy
Two people who might believe in Santa started a petition? Right....
Wonder when they find time outside of reminding the teacher about homework.
Awww. Future Liberals
Awwwwwww that’s sad 😞
Sad these 2 kids will eliminate the excitement of a happy meal for future generations. Guaranteed parents drive a Prius.
In Sweden, the most popular burger chain, Max, always include things like books or other more useful items. The books are actual children books, not some hidden promo for the chain (well, there's a logo at the back, but that's it). Scrap the toys and add something useful instead
Rich people don’t eat that crap
Two girls doing the job of the Health Dept.
Some kids are just.........well...
weaponised children.
And reuse plastic for toys?
Should we also stop making toys, most are made of plastic, wonder how they feel around Christmas time🤔 children need toys 😉
I asked my kids how they felt aboit this proposal. They sayi daddy those little girls tripping.
An they decided this ....all by themselves.... riiiiight
Um, News Flash: Kids play with ALL toys for a short time before they are thrown away. They're kids. That's what they do.
But their parents let them eat the poison
Better yet stop feeding your children this garbage.
I actually agree that this should stop. When my kids were young I had to specifically request not to include one. They were basically junk!
Or.....they don't ask for Happy Meals or go to McDonald's for themselves and let other kids/parents do as they want. (Whispers....it's really the parents)
When you sat down and prioritized your tasks and you put this at the top of it. What were you on ?
Someone is always trying to ruin someone else’s fun😞
Can't we just scrap McDonald's?🤷🏾♀️
The toys suck anyways!!! They end up in the trash unopened 😐😐
Mind your own business and let the other kids have their fun.
'The sisters decided to start this petition after they got bored with asking their teachers if they 'forgot to assign homework' just as their classes were about to be dismissed for the day without said homework.'
these kids sound like real...
No plastic in ocean from us. I saved most of our toys for grandchildren!!
You mean their activist parents, of course.
Animals die in abusive conditions to provide a 'toy' meal.
I agree with them. These toys only end up in the bin a day of 2 later. It's such a waste.
If it's anything like the plastic ban movement, they'll just end up charging consumers more for the plastic toy than actually getting rid of it. 🤷♀️
