McDonald’s: Happy Meal toys each glued to informative pamphlet on hypertension

Taco Bell: Parents must demonstrate full consent to their children’s meal choices by placing order directly with corporate lawyer

KFC: Instituting strict one-bucket-per-child limit

Dunkin’ Donuts: All Munchkins will now come served with a large Cobb salad

Pizza Hut: Strategically raising height of buffet

Chipotle: Burritos no longer allowed to weigh more than two-fifths of the weight of children who order them

Chuck E. Cheese’s: Arcade games retrofitted with elliptical machines

White Castle: My Size meals to come with small ipecac for dessert

Dairy Queen: All franchise locations shuttered
