San Francisco soda fight
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors is set to vote on an ordinance for the city that would require a warning on ads for sugar-sweetened beverages. The warning would point out the harmful health effects of soda and other sweet drinks. Both supporters and opponents call the plan unprecedented.

Christmas drones
All I want for Christmas is a...drone? That's what Walmart (WMT) is betting on. The world's biggest retailer's Sam's Club warehouse store is stocking up for the holidays. They plan to offer about a dozen kinds that range in price from $100 to $4,000.
