Berkeley passes "checkout regulation" at the grocery store. Behavior modification through extinction and or convenience. You will be assimilated. God forbid the city allows you to buy food with more sugar than they deem necessary for you.

Berkeley Passes 'Healthy Checkout' Bill, Clearing Junk Food From Checkout Aisles
The checkout aisle of grocery stores isn't home to just a cash register; there's also a variety of candies, chips, and sweets you can pick up. This front of store promotion is often where kids of all ages can get their sugar cravings satisfied, but also helps push and market junk food products.
If you could change the products available in the checkout aisle to be less caloric and sugar-laden, it might have an effect in helping combat obesity. The city of Berkeley is willing to give that a shot, as they became the first city to pass a "healthy checkout" bill.
he new law, as reported by the San Jose Mercury News, applies to grocery stores larger than 2,500 square feet. It restricts products available at the checkout stands to those with no more than 5 grams of added sugar or less than 250 milligrams of sodium per serving.
Junk food itself isn't banned in these stores, and could be found in the regular candy, chips, or snacks sections. This law just takes that prime product placement section and has stores give better-for-you options a shot in that area.
