San Francisco is suing Coca-Cola, Kellogg, Nestlé, PepsiCo, and others—accusing them of fueling a public health crisis with ultra-processed foods. The city says their tactics mirror Big Tobacco: addictive products, deceptive marketing, and targeting kids.
⚖️ Why It Matters
- First government lawsuit of its kind
- Links to obesity, diabetes, liver disease, cancer
- Could set a precedent for food industry accountability
🍭 Community Takeaway
Ultra-processed foods aren’t just snacks—they’re engineered hooks. Spot the red flags (long ingredient lists, added sugars), push for transparency, and celebrate whole-food habits.
