Soft Drinks out of Schools
Go Clinton! The former President and the current governor of Arkansas have persuaded the nation’s soft drink makers to remove high-calorie beverages from public schools. The New York Times has the full story.
This is really impressive, as I didn’t expect the likes of Coca-Cola and Pepsico to really give a rat’s ass about slowly killing a generation as long as it brought in money. I guess they had to bend to the general public’s growing realization of what’s going on. There’s really no reason for anyone to drink soda. Giving it up is an easy, easy way to cut calories, and when you have some for the first time in a long while, you’ll realize how sickly sweet it is.
Now if we can just get Big Soda to stop selling poison water.
