supervisor erik proposed the ordnance. it says no restaurant can sell a fast food kids meal that has 660 sodium -- so it's not just mcdonalds it's all fast food restaurants. if they are not sold with the toy the same meals can still be sold to kids. the 8-3 vote is veto proof. parents should decide what their kids eat and not politicians. mcdonalds sent several executives to meetings yesterday that oppose the measure. mcdonalds and burger king are among -- have joined involuntary effort. the meals they provide or advertise the kids meet government standards. my next report i will be trying to speak with parents about what they are going to do if this goes forward. as many of you know, the kids want the meal and the toy and parents don't want the tantrum. they don't get it. reporting live in san francisco kraig debro. >>> former usf basketball star quintin daily has died at the age of 49. he has died from cardiovascular disease. he spent ten seasons in the nba. he had a troubled pass. daily pleaded guilty attempting to assa
