In being a part of this, W.J. Clinton has done more now that he ever did as President.
He may have saved a generation of American schoolkids from type II diabetes and obesity.
"oh well, they can just get sodas at Taco Bell outside school, ...." Fine. Let them. At least they won't be drinking crap all day, at school.
So sugar-filled drink is banned from schools. Now, if only bullet-filled guns could be banned aswell, we'd be on the right track

I go to a Catholic High School. There are four soda machines, a snack machine, a lunch counter, and a refrigerator with cold sandwiches, water, milk, and orange juice.
There is also a snack rack on the counter with fresh cookies.
Everyone eats what they want and if they are getting obese or whatever from it, they stop for the most part, because they have a brain. Hell, a lot of people drink the water over the soda already.
I'd be more worried about the drug selling in the school instead of the fucking snacks.

I think what you're saying is essentially what DV and I are saying - people need to use a.) common sense and b.) self-control, which seems to be pretty hard for people nowadays. I know when I was in high school (even middle school), we had the mandatory "health" classes that taught you about a range of subjects, from sex ed to, yes, healthy eating.

[/QB][/QUOTE] Too many people don't even know what common sense is. How many people well into there forty's do not have any type of additional retirement fund planned. How many people live above their means and forfeit there future by running up incredible debt. How many families take the kids to fast food restaurants and treat there kids to all the latest greatest video games but don't put a one cent for higher education. How many people work entry level positions and complain about making ends meat but have a $4 starbucks everyday How many people watch Fear Factor..... opps sorry that's another arguement

Originally posted by Don Vercetti: You speak of soda as if it's tobacco. :rolleyes: Even diet sodas are harmful for the routine functions of the stomach. After a while, stomach becomes depended on the effects of soda in digestion and stops its natural funtions. It also increases the risk of acid reflux that would result in heartburn. The sugar content in non-diet sodas can increase the risk of diabetes and increase the weight in an unhealthy manner. Caffeine can make just about anyone more irritable, especially women. Occasional drinks of soda aren't that harmful, but as I've seen real life examples including myself, kids tend to go overboard with sodas. I wouldn't want my children to go down the same path, and be told to stop drinking it altogether after sever stomach problems. However, I'm not sure where and at what age we need to draw the line. Something tells me people have to see some stuff for themselves.
