It says that when a restaurant offers children's meals that include a drink, the provided drink has to be either water or milk, unless the parent asks for something else. A parent could go in and ask for 10 large sodas for their kid if they wanted.
So basically, parents are free to order whatever they want for their kids. The OP completely blew this out of proportion.

That's the question, isn't it?
From what I've seen, and am seeing, that's a question that is going to be answered very soon.
I don't think we're going to like the answer. Today, we've too many people who are, seemingly, all too willing to let Big Brother do their thinking/deciding for them.

People are dying in unneeded wars while people back home argue a verbal hurdle to get your kid a dopamine fix.
It's at this moment I'm worried for my country.

Sure you should have the freedom to give your kids diabetes and heart disease
Obesity, diabetes, heart disease is an epidemic in America.
Any attempt to help children eat better might not be a bad idea
Go along with my gang, even if we object to a law that promotes the heath of kids, because it looks like my team is against it.

Party over principle.
God forbid our group think tribe doesn't win on something.... Or let a salacious story go to waste.

So you as a parent can make all decisions about your child? No in this country. You can't send your kids to work in the fields anymore for 12 hours a day. Any you do have to feed them in a nutritional fashion. If you think different, go check your states social services and see how many kids they removed from homes because they were under nourished.
Go check up on parents that abuse their kids in other ways. Gone from the household. I have fostered many kids in my lifetime who were pulled out of homes because of all kinds of abuse - most of it mental, but much of it just parents who didn't clean their kids or give them a good meal.
This legislation is a good thing - default healthy drinks for kids. Want to give them crap fizzy corporate slime, ok.
How can anyone be against this?
Oh, I know, nanny state. Well, kids need a nanny when their damn parents can't or won't do the job.
I am VERY PRO LIVING CHILDREN.
Children are not and should not be responsible for idiot adults.
BUt they absolutely can choose their own gender just like an adult?
