Who would have ever thought that a fast food restaurant could have effects on politics? It turns out that laws were made in effect of the McDonald's franchise. Since the famous McDonald's Happy Meals are such a main contributor to childhood obesity a law was passed in certain cities that prohibited fast food restaurants from handing out free toys in meals that are over 600 calories, does not contain fruits or vegetables, and includes a drink with excessive sugar. McDonald's was already one step ahead of them. They started charging 10 cents for each toy to be able to still give them out without changing the contents of their meals.The ten cents was donated to the Ronald McDonald charity. There are also other laws that affected the way that McDonald's handled their business.The Immigration Reform and Control Act affected many businesses but McDonald's especially. It forced all employers to verify employment eligibility for all new workers. McDonald's previously had many illegal workers whom they played less than minimum wage. Politics has affected the way McDonald's works and incredibly McDonald's changed politics as well.
