Your body needs calories for energy; they fuel everything you do. But if you get too many of them or don't burn them off with exercise, those calories can turn to fat.
Lawmakers in part of California say that some fast food kids' meals have too many calories.

They believe one way to discourage kids from wanting those meals is to ban the toys that come with them.
So, the new rule in Santa Clara, California: kids' meals with more than 485 calories get no toy. Kids' meals with less calories can still include the toy. There are also limits on fat and sodium, or salt.

One lawmaker says this will help fight childhood obesity and "breaks the link between unhealthy food and prizes."
But the California Restaurant Association thinks the rule goes too far, and some critics say parents should be responsible for what their children eat.
