The Maryland Retailers Association, Restaurant Association of Marylandand the Maryland-Delaware-D.C. Beverage Association say they're opposed to a bill that would put warning labels on such drinks.
City Councilman Nick Mosby, a candidate for Baltimore mayor, and city Health Commissioner Dr. Leana Wen held a news conference Monday to announce the legislation, which they said will help curb the rising epidemic of childhood obesity in the city. A news release issued by Wen's office said the proposed legislation would help educate residents about the dangers of sugar-sweetened drinks and is part of a broader effort to reduce childhood obesity.

Why don't these Mosby idiots put signs on the CVS pharmacies that say "Don't Burn". It will be as effective.
Is this part of the dummy down process or what? Ummm, sugar is supposed to be on that warning list anyway. Kids don't read labels so to say this will be an 'effort' to cut down on childhood obesity is nonsense. Try taking the Wii or Xbox controller out of their hand and give every kid a bike, basketball or football and tell them to go outside.
Why isn't Mosby and his troop on the video game market like they're after the soda industry?
Even Romper Room had kids get off their butts and run around-getting exercise.
Anybody who drinks these KNOWS they're SWEET. Save the time, cost & effort!
There should be warning labels on Democrat voter registration cards
