CNN ran this story:
http://www.cnn.com/2016/01/14/health/warning-labels-sugary-drinks/
Bills are under consideration in New York and California that would require sugar-sweetened beverages to feature health warning labels on their packaging, similar to tobacco warning labels in the United States and many other countries.
Should the government regulate this, by requiring warning labels, or should the label more prominently list sugar/sweetener content? Requiring warning labels is a bad idea. A terrible idea. If adults are having trouble understanding the contents of a drink, that is one thing. Ask the industry to make sugar contents more pronounced. Let the private sector address it first. If it does not work, then public meetings to discuss. Legislation on it? No.
