March 10, 2019 - from the Specialty Food News and Crain's N Y:
"The City Council on Thursday voted to make low-sugar drinks the default beverage in children's meals at restaurants citywide in an effort to curb childhood obesity and diabetes."
"If signed into law by the mayor, chain restaurants must offer water, low-fat milk or 100% fruit or vegetable juice as the standard option rather than sodas or other drinks with added sugar."
"Public health advocates and the city Health Department supported the bill during a City Council hearing last month. The Health Department has described reducing the consumption of sugary beverages as a top agency priority. Nearly 1 in 5 children ages 6 to 19 are obese citywide."
