In the early 1990s cDonald's began to aim its Happy Meal mar keting at children aged one to three. In 1995, McDonald's began making nutritional information for its food products availablein documents known as "McDonald's Nutrition Facts." Each document lists the food items that the restaurant serves and provides a nutritional breakdown, but the Happy Meal is not included wa ces Marc Cohen filed a suit against McDonald's in an inois state court. Among other things, Cohen alleged that McDon- ald's had violated a state law prohibiting consumer fraud and deceptive business practices by failing to adhere to the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act (NLEA). The NLEA sets out different requirements for products specifically intended for A children under the age of four-for instance, the products labels cannot declare the percent of daily value of nutritional components. Does it make sense to have different require ments for children of this age? Why or why not? Should a state F court impose such regulations? Explain. [Cohen v.
