Children are far more likely to pick a healthier fast-food meal when promotional toys are offered only with those menu options and not with less nutritional fare like burgers, fries and a pop, a study has found.

Canadian researchers set out to see which McDonald?s Happy Meals kids age six to 12 would choose when toys were included with healthier menu combinations, but not with standard offerings typically higher in fat and salt.
