NEW YORK - An overweight New York City councilman is pushing a ban on toys with children??s restaurant meals, the New York Daily News reports. Leroy Comrie admits to enjoying fast food meals and "unhealthy eating," but says the Fast Food Toy Ban Bill would be good for children.

Similar to the ban San Francisco enacted recently, the New York City ban would mean any children??s meal could not have a toy if total calories came to more than 500. Comrie??s office discovered that McDonald??s Happy Meals top out at 1,090 calories, Burger King??s kids?? meals at 1,460, Wendy??s at 1,080, and KFC at 680.

"We are not trying to hurt anyone's bottom line. We are trying to help people's bottoms," said Comrie, who has at least a half dozen city council members backing his bill. He said that more elected officials will likely support the ban as well.

"The child wants the toys. Not that fries and nuggets," said Councilwoman Inez Dickens.

The law has some teeth to it by fining any restaurant serving toys along with heavy-calorie meals between $200 and $2,500. New York City restaurants already have to post calorie counts on menus.

McDonald??s said that their restaurants serve healthy options like Apple Dippers and Chicken McNuggets with white meat. "We always abide by the laws in the municipalities, states, and countries in which we operate," said Mason Smoot, vice president and general manager of McDonald??s New York Metro Region.

Last month, a Florida Senate committee voted to keep toys in fast-food children??s meals.
