San Francisco is progressive or radical depending on your politics. Now the City has moved a step closer to an ordinance that would require soft drink makers to put sugar warnings in all advertising. A lawsuit was brought to the federal court by the American Beverage Association, the California Retailers Association, and the California State Outdoor Advertising Association, all of whom have an interest in putting Coke, Pepsi and other sweet drinks on billboards and elsewhere. But the court says San Francisco can enforce the ordinance at least for now. The warning will read: “WARNING: Drinking beverages with added sugar(s) contributes to obesity, diabetes, and tooth decay. This is a message from the City and County of San Francisco.”
