“This is terrific, but don’t hold your breath. The timeline:
“June 1, 2028: The State Department of Public Health adopts regulations.
“July 1, 2029: Schools begin to phase out restricted school foods.
“July 1, 2032: Vendors cannot offer restricted foods.
“July 1, 2035: Bill fully implemented.
“Really? Ten years to make this happen? A lot can happen in that time …, Nestle wrote.
