The Denver City Council on Tuesday moved to prohibit restaurants within city limits from including sugary drinks on children’s menus, arguing it would help counter America’s obesity epidemic.

The measure defines “default” beverage in a “children’s meal” to mean two things — water, which may be “still or sparkling, with no added sugar” or “dairy milk or non-dairy milk substitute with no added sugar.”

In pushing for the measure, District 10 Councilman Chris Hinds pointed to other cities in the Denver area — as well as in the country — that have adopted similar measures.

The proposal allows a restaurant to sell any other beverage, including soda, if a customer requests it.

The Colorado Restaurant Association offered a “neutral” position to Denver’s proposal, the group’s lobbyist said.
