San Francisco Sues Food for Being Too Deliciously Evil Since December 2

KEY POINTS

•On December 2, 2024, San Francisco filed a 64-page lawsuit against 11 major food companies.
•City Attorney David Chiu accused these brands of selling addictive, ultra-processed foods causing health crises.
•The lawsuit alleges deceptive marketing practices and targets products like cereals, candies, and soft drinks.
•This action aligns with Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s 2025 plan to remove harmful food dyes by 2027.

On December 2, 2024, San Francisco’s City Attorney David Chiu launched a 64-page legal love letter to litigation against 11 food giants including Coca-Cola, Nestlé, and Mars Inc., accusing them of peddling 'ultra-processed foods' so addictive that they ruin waistlines faster than you can say 'Lunchables.' The lawsuit claims these companies engineered secret recipes of diabetes and obesity, hid behind 'healthy' marketing, and targeted kids while taxpayers foot the medical bill. This city-sized candyland crackdown rides the wave of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s 2025 'Make America Healthy Again' campaign, which vows to phase out petroleum-based food dyes by 2027. Oh, and Trump apparently sweet-talked Coca-Cola into ditching corn syrup for real cane sugar in July, proving even soft drinks can have political careers.
