New California Law Will Require Kids’ Menus to List Water and Milk as Only Drink Options

California state lawmakers recently passed a bill mandating that only unflavored milk and water be listed as "default beverages" on menus.

The solution, they argue, is to "support parents' efforts to feed their children nutritiously by ensuring healthy beverages are the default options in children's meals in restaurants," ultimately improving "children's health by setting nutritional standards for a restaurant's children's meals."
