San Jose City Committee Decides Not To Pursue Ban on Sugary Drinks, Whole Milk
On Wednesday, the San Jose Rules and Open Government Committee decided not to consider a proposal that would have banned sugary drinks and whole milk from city properties and events to help curb obesity rates. San Jose City Council member Ash Kalra -- who developed the proposal -- urged the panel to re-consider the issue at a later date.
