California law proposal would put health warning labels on soda
Would you drink that soda if you were reminded it could harm your health? A California lawmaker wants to highlight the obesity risk that the sugary drinks bring with a new warning label.
State Sen. Bill Monning proposed a bill on Thursday that would require health warning labels on soda or fruit drinks that contain added sweeteners that are 75 or more calories per 12 ounces.
The SB1000 bill's hypothetical warning label would read: “STATE OF CALIFORNIA SAFETY WARNING: Drinking beverages with added sugar(s) contributes to obesity, diabetes, and tooth decay.”
If passed, the law would start on July 1, 2015.
“When the science is this conclusive, the state of California has a responsibility to take steps to protect consumers,” said Monning, according to the Los Angeles Times. “As with tobacco and alcohol warnings, this legislation will give Californians essential information they need to make healthier choices.”
Monning added at a press conference Friday morning that he believed that warning labels “will face less resistance in the Legislature” than a proposed tax, according to the Sacramento Bee.
The California Medical Association, California Center for Public Health Advocacy, California Black Health Network and the Latino Coalition for a Healthy California are listed as co-sponsors of the bill.

What?
I’ve been surprised how many people are outside the office building smoking on the really cold days. I’ve asked a couple how cold it has to be to give up smoking, and they haven’t had an answer. :-)
No one reads those labels.
All I am saying is that there are still great conservatives in
California and we’re a little weary of blanket snarky comments.
Liberalism is not as much of a geographic issue as people suggest.
Yet it is easy to put borders around it and give it a name like
“California”. California ain’t the problem, liberalism is.
I guess all posts making light of CA's overblown liberalism should come with a warning label. Right?
Warning label? No, but you might try demonstrating that you are not
simply a stupid ass by acknowledging that not all Californians are
hopeless libtards. You are savvy enough aren’t you? I’d almost bet
you are.
IOWs a warning label. Idiot! lol
I see that you are not savvy enough though I gave
you an out. Indeed, you are a stupid ass that spends
time at a website that originates in California, the
place he (she?) derides.
Get yourself a Victim Card. lol
BTW, didn’t I use the “out” you gave me? I posted the caveat you kept bleating for. Baa baa baa.
And you are a bedwetting picker of low hanging fruit hoping
people will think you’re cool because you put your big boy
diapers on and took pot shot at Cali. Brave......You’re the
victim.......the victim of your own cowardice.
You are certainly obsessed with getting me to bend over for you and have quite a fixation on the word ‘ass.’ I’m getting worried.
Did I also mention wishfull thinking won’t get you
far in your life such that it is?

You are right about one thing. You are pretty much nothing.
Would love to carry this forward but I am in the ER waiting
for a room. Will have 3-5 days to carry on so if I hear from
you then you will hear back from me Sat and forward. Be cool
dumb, dipstick.
(yawn) You’re a bore and a boor.
Yet you still talk to me.
Must hate your pitiful life. Look on
the bright side. Your clown car friends
left you behind to entertain a person
unfortunate enough to be in a hospital
ER. How ‘bout some more stupid stuff
about California?
Poor baby needs some sympathy and attention ...
And you continue to provide both. Good doggy
