Shown is a Happy Meal at a McDonald's restaurant in San Francisco, Monday, Nov. 8, 2010. In the left foreground is a character toy included with the meal from the movie Megamind. It is a happy moment for people who see the Happy Meal as anything but. San Francisco is poised to become the first major American city to require fast-food restaurants to sell meals that meet set nutritional guidelines or not include a toy with them.

FILE - In this Dec. 26, 2010 file photo, people walk past a Forever 21 store in New York's Times Square. The population of the U.S. has grown by 8 million people since the previous record was set. That means there were millions more shoppers in stores this Christmas, driving up the sales total. But the average amount of spending per person was down from a few years ago, suggesting consumers are still slower to pull out their wallets. (AP Photo/Mary Altaffer, file) (AP)
