Berkeley Ca. wants to control your
#1
They have passed a city ordinance about what they consider Junk Food and by doing so, thy believe that they are teaching you better behavior by making better choices.
This is just Communist, Dictator Bull-Shit!
Quote:Berkeley is the first city in the US to ban junk food in checkout lanes

Next they'll be sending the Sheeple to Reeducation Camps!

Quote:Berkeley is gearing up to become the first city in the nation to ban junk food from the checkout line in grocery stores.
In a unanimous vote Tuesday night, the Berkeley City Council passed the “healthy checkout” ordinance.

Come March 2021, when the measure is set to take effect, large grocery stores in the California city will be prohibited from selling food and beverages deemed unhealthy in a 3-foot radius from the checkout.

“It’s not really a ban, it’s a nudge,” co-sponsor of the ordinance Councilmember Kate Harrison told FOX Business. “What we have discovered is that this law enforces good behavioral economics and facilitates better choices.”

Who gave them the Right to Dictate What YOU can spend your money on and Eat!!??

Quote:The ban will eliminate items that contain more than 5 grams of added sugars or over 250 milligrams of sodium per serving. Items like chips, candy bars, sodas or other processed foods will be replaced with healthier alternatives, like pita chips, hummus, health bars and milk.

The council’s decision to move unhealthy items away from the register hinges on the duplicitous ways the food environment affects consumer choices. The city of Berkeley’s press release on the new policy cited a national study, which found that 91% of supermarkets display candy at checkout, along with 85% that sell soda and other sugary drinks by the checkout area.

It'll put the hurt on subliminal messaging and advertising...

That is disturbing however. Cali reminds me of a frog in a pan of water on the stove , By the time it is realized, it is too late for the frog.

i never buy my junk in the line to checkout, i go to the isles where the really good stuff is.
they might just save people some money seeing how items in the checkout lane are mainly for impulse purchases, and some are priced higher than others in the isles.
