This is stupid. Parenting should start with the parents. Not the government. It is the parents responsibility to control what their kids eat/drink.
To make this even more stupid, it would just remove "sugary" drinks from the kids menu. It would not restrict if they can order a "sugary" drink.

From the post:
"Denver City Council is proposing a ban on sugary drinks and soft drinks on kids menus at restaurants across the city. Those for the proposal say it's healthier for kids, will prevent chronic health problems and address health inequities.
Denver Councilman Chris Hinds, District 8, said if a restaurant has a kids menu, the menu would only have water or unflavored milk listed as a drink option, or no drink option would be listed.
Plus, while taking a customer's order, employees won't be offering sugary drinks or soft drinks to children sitting at the table. However, a parent or a child can still order any beverage they want, at any time, regardless of what is on the menu."
