The Berkeley City Council voted unanimously on Tuesday to ban grocery stores from displaying junk food, sugary drinks, and other processed foods in store check-out lines, where shoppers are tempted to make final impulse purchases before paying.
According to NBC News, the prohibition will go into effect next March, but will only apply to 25 of the California city’s largest stores, including CVS and Safeway. Anyone who wants junk food will now have to walk into the store and look for it, instead of grabbing it at the register.
