Daily show on Happy meal ban.
I am not sure whether this is edited heavily or not but it is a rather hilarious take on the SF ban on happy meals. The interviewer makes ban proponent, Councilman Eric Mar distinctly uncomfortable with the following exchange:
Interviewer: “So you’ve literally created a nanny state, to get your toy you have to eat your fruit and vegetable?”
Mar: “No, we are saying we want healthier options, from fast food companies in San Francisco if they want to attach a toy to it.”
Int: “But that’s what I just said.”

Another great contradiction in logic is the part:
Int: “Would it be hard to pass a law to force Netflix to send Super Size Me to every parent in San Francisco?”
Mar: “You can't force Netflix, a private company, to do something like that.”
Int: “Are you serious right now?”
Mar: “We have no power to force Netflix or a private company like that to change a business practice.”
“So, on one hand you are like you can’t do that, but on the other hand, you are doing that.”
Mar: “We don’t have that kind of power.”
“You just said you did.”
