Pop is just sugar water and a waste of money. But if someone wants to drink it that should be their decision.

"Pop is just sugar water and a waste of money. But if someone wants to drink it that should be their decision."

Pop is absolutely one of the worst food products from a health standpoint, and the schools should not encourage its use. If people want to drink pop in their homes, that's fine, but I don't think there's anything wrong with the schools eliminating it in cafeterias. Pop is a tremendous contributor to obesity and diabetes. I hope conservatives don't want to concede that having children eat a healthy diet is only a concern to liberals.
