( CNN ) -- The San Francisco , California , Board of Supervisors on Tuesday banned most McDonald 's Happy Meals with toys , as they 're now served . 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 . The new law , which San Francisco officials hope other cities will adopt in battling a child obesity epidemic , was a defeat for McDonald 's , which led the fight against the measure . `` As previously stated , we are extremely disappointed with this decision . It 's not what our customers want , nor is it something they asked for , '' said McDonald 's spokeswoman Danya Proud . Proud said public opinion is against such government intervention . `` Any fair and objective review of our menu and the actions we 've taken will demonstrate we 've added multiple options for parents to choose . This includes Apple Dippers ( bagged , sliced , pre-peeled apples ) , low-fat one percent milk , 100 percent apple juice and Chicken McNuggets made with white meat , '' Proud said in a statement . `` And , as we have stated all along , we are committed to doing even more . '' The new law addresses how toys and other marketing freebies entice kids to buy fast-food meals that are high in fat and calories , said Supervisor Eric Mar . He initiated the proposal because his fifth-grade daughter is in the 6-to-11 age group that has seen obesity rates quadruple over the past 30 years , the same time that the Happy Meal has been on the market . `` This is a simple and modest policy that holds fast food accountable , '' Mar said . Before Tuesday 's vote , Mar cited a study released this week by Yale University 's Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity , which examined 12 popular restaurant chains and found only 12 out of more than 3,000 kids ' meal combinations met the nutritional guidelines for preschool-aged kids . The study said the fast food industry spent $ 4.2 billion on advertising in 2009 and found that 40 percent of preschool-aged children ask to go to McDonald 's on a weekly basis , and 15 percent ask on a daily basis . Also , 84 percent of parents say they 've taken their children to eat fast food at least once in the past week . Under the law , McDonald 's and other restaurants will have until December 2011 to improve their meals ' nutrition by adding fruits and vegetables -- if the chains want to keep offering toys , including those promoting the latest films . The food and beverages will have to contain fewer than 600 calories , and less than 35 percent of total calories will come from fat . The meal must contain half a cup of fruit and three-fourths cup of vegetables , and offer less than 640 milligrams of sodium and less than 0.5 milligrams of trans fat . Breakfast will have the option of offering half cups of fruit or vegetables . City officials said they expect a legal challenge from McDonald 's , which declined to comment on possible legal action .
NEW : All fast food with toys must meet new nutrition criteria . Comment: The measure is part of a `` food justice '' movement ; officials expect a legal challenge .
