Far more than one person wants this. Assemblyman Ortiz, who authored the legislation, wouldn’t have gone to the trouble of crafting it unless it had the support of many of his constituents. And although I agree that it likely won’t pass, I bet it will get a lot more than Ortiz’ single vote if it comes to the floor.

See also legislation aimed at banning transfats, sodas and a variety of junk and processed foods across the country for other examples, some misguided, others less so, but all - politically - well intentioned.

Yeah, that sort of nanny state stuff is all paranoia from fear-mongering wingnuts. Until it starts happening. Oops
