Hot on the heels of our Cereal FACTS launch, Kellogg Company announced they will discontinue immunity statements on their Rice- and Cocoa- Krispies cereal boxes.

Our intrepid leader flew to Tinseltown this week for another Rudd Center cause célèbre. He provided testimony on the relationship between sugar-sweetened beverage consumption and health for the California Senate Joint Hearing on Obesity and Diabetes. Sugar-sweetened beverage taxes are not (yet) part of health care legislation, but menu-labeling provisions did indeed make their way into Pelosi's health care bill. The bill was passed by House Democrats with a final vote of 220-215 late Saturday night.
