This Act is a significant stride in empowering New Yorkers with vital information about their food choices. With Thanksgiving upcoming, and people preparing to visit relatives by getting flu and COVID vaccines, creating a plan to monitor sugar intake should be added to the list.

New Yorkers are tired of underpromising electeds who still underdeliver. My friend Amit is a dynamic force with a courageous voice and the right choice for a new @NYCCouncil. He’ll fight for you #CD24/7. He also knows @nycgov inside and out and where to find the best macarons.
