CBS 13 reports, “Milk or water will be the default drink sold with kids’ meals in California.

A law signed Thursday by Gov. Jerry Brown doesn’t ban restaurants or fast-food chains from selling soda or juice with children’s meals. But it says only milk; a non-dairy milk alternative; or sparkling, still or flavored water can be handed out as default and advertised on the menu.”

Democrats support the bill, Republicans call it overreach.

The new law will take effect on January 1, 2019.
