| | Happy Meal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A "Happy Meal" is a meal specially tailored for children, sold at the fast-food chain McDonald's since 1979. | | | The original Happy meal simply consted of a hamburger or cheeseburger, twelve-ounce soft drink, and a small order of french fries. | | | In Canada, the promotion prior to the Happy Meal was called the "Treat of the Week," where a different toy was available free on request each week; it continued after the Happy Meal was introduced. |

| | And in America, the Happy Meal menu will include lowfat milk and "apple dippers"-slices of apple with a caramel dip. | | | Australia is trying toasted cheese and tomato sandwiches. | | | It is the humble Happy Meal, rolled out 25 years ago under the Golden Arches in a prescient campaign to build loyalty among the very youngest of McDonald's customers. |

| | Happy Meal reaches milestone |
| | This month, as McDonald's celebrates the 25th anniversary of the Happy Meal, kids today still eat the food (the fries, anyway), toss the box and keep the toy. | | | Across the country, patrons lined up in the predawn hours before McDonald's opened to snag as many Happy Meals as possible just for the "babies." Sometimes, the food, untouched, was ditched in the nearest trash can. | | | Together they estimate they have about 20,000 Happy Meal toys and other types of McDonald's memorabilia from this country and abroad. |

| | Fast Food Hunger -- The Happy Meal vs. the happy meal |
| | Our happy meal starts with shopping where we know our food providers at the farmers' market, and moves on to the preparation, and ends with the pleasure of being together around a meal that has involved us. | | | I brought up this provocative finding as a means of talking about food and access to food during a family meal with my daughter, son and husband during the week that the World Food Summit was taking place. | | | Our family meal, from preparation to consumption is, indeed, a happy one. |
