Non-diet sodas to be pulled from schools!

50........

i do not like it and i do not drink it.
But that is only because of the taste and because of the stomachache.
Producers do not say it is healthy that's right. But they also do not declare that it is so harmful and we all have to wait untill some investigations will be done.

I should add that I agree, that because a few can't control themselves doesn't mean more unnecessary legislation should be created. The government is too big for its britches as it is.

I wonder how Coca Cola and others sighed this contract of not vending the sode in schools, because those companies are so huge and they really loose a part of the market. I thought that those companies never give up and use any possibility to be on top.

Oh ya and the crap in diet soda is soooooo much better...

They own diet cola's, they own fruit drinks, they own bottled waters...

A! If that is so, then we only remain to squeeze the fruits and drink.

They should have done that years ago

that's good to hear, now they have to stop selling cheeseburgers and pizzas inside of schools too

And fries, tator tots, sloppy joes, corn dogs, hot dogs, tacos, burritos, chips, pastries, pudding, ice cream, nachos, and chicken nuggets.

If we are gunna cut out "some" sugar lets also target fats, sodium, and other bad stuff.

Sorry to rock the boat for all you who think this is a great idea, but this is fucking stupid.

First of all, I as a fat ass, know that there is no real difference health-wise between diet soda and regular except that the diet soda tastes like shit. So now HS kids have a diet soda with thier 2000 calorie mystery meat patty. Second, these kids have the right to drink whatever the fuck they want as far as I am concerned. And they'll suffer the consequences later on down the road. Just like smoking. Let'em smoke.

And for that matter, that ought to pull all of the vending machines out of the schools and then close the cafeteria, too. Schools never should have gotten into the business of providing lunch anyway. Not only is it unprofitable (which means that we the people end up subsidizing it through taxes -- and some people get free lunches and dont pay taxes... so looky there) but its stupid as well. God forbid kids actually learn how to make a sandwhich and take it to school with them. Wouldnt that be horrible?

And if you parents are so worried about what your kids eat and drink at school, do all of us a favor and take your kids the fuck out of school and home school them. They arent learning anything anyway and you, they and society will all be better off if you teach them what they really need to know instead of focusing on the bullshit they do in school these days.

I swear, this country is becoming a pussbucket full of pussys who arent good for shit.

OK, I am stepping down now...

couldn't agree more

It's about time someone took over parental, and personal responsiblity.

here in Victoria Australia , they just passed that into legisltation that softdrinks to pulled from school canteens
does to little really , kid can't drink a soft drink in school grounds , as soon as they get off the grounds they can guzzle all the softdrink they want

I am all for it. Should have done it a long time ago
