Berkeley becomes 1st city to ban junk food at grocery store checkouts

Residents in Berkeley, California are going to see a big change when they go grocery shopping next year.

Beginning in March 2021, candy, chips, soda and other junk food items will not be available for purchase at store checkouts. The Berkeley City Council passed an ordinance on Sept. 22 that will ban these products from the aisles right by store registers.

Often referred to as impulse buys, the snacks and treats will be replaced with healthier options in retailers that occupy spaces that are each larger than 2,500 square feet. This applies to grocery stores like Safeway, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Monterey Market and the popular Berkeley Bowl.

They are preventing the store owners from doing what they think best, aren't they?

Didn't Bloomberg lead the way with his Big Gulp ban in NYC? The one courts overturned twice?

They can put extra Mallomars next to the counters in Kentucky. That will make up for it.
