At my school, they turned off the pop machines during the day, so all you could get was water, milk, juice, etc.

And I concur, I hate this shit too - I remember reading in the USA Today last year how lawyers were bringing class-action lawsuits against PepsiCo and Coca-Cola for the obesity epidemic...absolutely crazy shit.

Besides, its not like the kids aren't going to go to Taco Bell or Pizza Hut after school and gorge themselves, or sit in front of the TV and play video games...

Oh well. I think it probably is a good idea, but there are plenty of worse targets for the obesity epidemic than PepsiCo and Coke (read: Parents).
