A California bill seeking to limit restaurants to serving children only water or unflavored milk with their meals passed the Assembly this week and is now making its way to Gov. Jerry Brown’s desk.
The bill, aimed at combatting childhood obesity, would not preclude children or parents from ordering alternatives, however, according to ABC 7.
If Brown signs the bill into law, California would be the first state to have such a law, CBS Sacramento affiliate KOVR reported.
According to CBS news, several California cities have already passed similar restrictions, as have other cities across the U.S.

Why is this law even necessary? I’m old enough to remember when my mom would say “put down that soda, drink some water if you’re thirsty”. #parenting
