DietID_TeamDietitians 8yr Huge progress! @etsummer @Jrzimmer - what's the reaction like out west?

GooseBarry 8yr How do we replicate this ruling in other cities? Seems like a good idea.

etsummer 8yr Seems to me reactions have been largely positive! I only wish they had to include the warnings on the packaging.

DietID_TeamDietitians 8yr Yep! Packaging should be next but this is a great start

brittanymbarton 8yr good news! do you know what the language will be?

DietID_TeamDietitians 8yr Assume English for now, but that is a great point. Should also include other languages represented in the SF community

AngieDavidsen 8yr Sorry but it sounds stupid, what about alcohol, candy and so on???

DietID_TeamDietitians 8yr Great question @AngieDavidsen - the recommendation from the World Health Organization is actually to tax all sugary beverages. With regards to candy- yep there is a ton of sugar in those too, but based on this chart from @aamico, we get 47% of our added sugar intake from beverages, more than from snacks and candy https://www.thefoodstand.com/posts/12956-rachna-trying-to-cut-added-sugar-from-your-diet-don-t-worry-so

AhmedZ 8yr that's a very good start!! chocolates bars u r next :-D

annefood Looks great, @Rachna!

DietID_TeamDietitians @garv my favorite combo was peach, lime, and mint. The lime gets pretty overpowering, so one slice is all you need.
