The mayor of San Francisco says he'll veto a new law that bans toys with fast-food meals, but his action is meaningless because the city's board of supervisors has the votes it needs to override the veto. Mayor Gavin Newsom's office said he'll hold an event at an elementary school Friday afternoon. Along with the veto, he'll release a report outlining the city's efforts to fight childhood obesity, CNN reported. Under the new law, toys are only allowed with meals that meet certain nutritional standards. "This is a simple and modest policy that holds fast food accountable," said Supervisor Eric Mar, who initiated the new ordinance, CNN reported.
