MEAGAN BRATTON/SOUTH PLAINS
FOOD BANK DIRECTOR OF
DEVELOPMENT: "Personally, I just
don't think that there needs to
be kind of an oversight or
somebody making those decisions
for you. I think it's a personal
choice just like anyhting you
decide to put into your body and
just because you're getting

you can and can't buy."
MARI
IF YOU TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THE
NUTRITION FACTS.. THE PRODUCT
WILL TELL YOU HOW MUCH CAFFEINE
CONTENT IS IN THE FOOD OR DRINK.
THIS CAN OF "BIG RED" HAS A
CAFFEINE CONTENT OF 38
MILIGRAMS...PER 12 OUNCES.. SO
THIS MAY NOT FALL UNDER THIS
BAN.. BUT..THIS RED BULL CAN HAS
A CAFFEINE CONTENT OF 151
MILIGRAMS PER 16 OUNCES.. SO
THIS WOULD FALL UNDER THE BAN.
TONIGHT AT 10, I'LL HAVE A MORE
DETAILED LOOK AT THIS BILL.
REPORTING LIVE FOR KLBK NEWS,
I'M MARI SALAZAR.
