(a) Findings.
(1) Healthy eating is a key factor in reducing obesity, which is often a cause of heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and other serious and life-threatening diseases. More generally, consumption of unhealthy food and beverages contributes to the development of many ailments and debilitating diseases, which increases human suffering and decreases the quality of life, while driving health care costs up.
(2) The City is committed to promoting access to healthy, nutritious food and beverages.
(3) Positive changes in the nutritional quality of food and beverages sold on City property and served by the City can help people make healthier eating and drinking choices.
(4) As of fiscal year 2013-14, approximately 28,000 people were employed by the City and worked on City property. Giving City employees access to healthier foods in the workplace helps reduce the impact of diet-related disease, supports a healthier and more productive workforce, and reduces the City's health care expenses. Providing access to healthier food options for members of the public when they visit City property also promotes public health.
