Yes, that was expected...but the article linked waaaay back in the OP said this:

"The ordinance, which requires McDonald's and other fast-food servings with toys to meet new nutritional standards, now goes to Mayor Gavin Newsom, who indicated before his election last week to California lieutenant governor that he would veto the law.

That veto would be meaningless because the board approved the ordinance 8-3, a veto-proof margin. With eight votes, the board could override the veto."

So it will be interesting to see if anything changes.

It is shortsighted and unfair to single out one company or product to blame for obesity. The obesity epidemic is caused by myriad factors, including our modern technologies that permit us to work more efficiently while burning far fewer calories.

I hope that McDonald's sues SF.

, now if EVERYONE else could understand this too
