they will now only sell diet soda in schools, this will start in a few years.

I think it's a move in the right direction, but it's worthless to think that taking away soda will instantly make everyone healthy.

yea a move in the right direction, i just did a paper on obesity in america, and kids are becoming obese as early as 6 and 8 years old! Mostly because of uneducation on the proper way to eat, people simply dont know whats bad and good for them, and a lot more mothers and fathers have stopped cooking dinner for their kids, and they order takeout alot more often.

just my .02

like changing the soda to just diet is gonna make a huge difference... if they wanted to make a difference then they should just have water instead of any other drink.

if they wanted to make a difference, they'd teach kids about health and physical well being. instead of just taking things away from them, they could try to make the kids understand why they need to make the right decisions when it comes to health.

ok, so they remove diet soda....what about the pizza, potato chips, fries, hamburgers, etc.
