Baltimore, M.D., has become the first major city to ban sodas and other sugary drinks from the kids’ menus of restaurants, according to NBC.
The new measure went into effect on Wednesday, and while it is intended to keep kids and families from ordering sodas, parents will still be able to order soda for their kids. But the kids’ menu will show milk, water, and 100% fruit juices as options.
