I'm so glad to hear this. For so long I've had trouble with that money just jumping out of my pocket into my kids lunchbox. When he gets to school he wants to buy juice or milk but that evil Soda guy forces him to buy a regular Coke. What a releif that things are going to change.

Actually this is great news! I'm sending my kid to school with a couple of cases to start a black market.

My kid doesn't drink a lot of pop, but I may start puting a can in her lunch every day, just to show 'em I *can*.

It is much more appropriate for students to sip Chai Tea whie reading "Heather Has Two Mommies".

I saw a blurb on this last night....and my jaw dropped to see the William Clinton Foundation attached to this....

First of all....how is he making money off this deal??

Second of all....I thought this was America, freedom of some choices...

A teenager girl CAN choose to have an abortion, according to Clinton...but, NOW Clinton is going to keep her from choosing a Diet Coke over juice????

Not to worry dear stock holders of soft drink companies ... those same companies agreed to this because they will make MORE MONEY selling the water they bottle!

The amount of control people are willing to give up to government is amazing. Even small things like what refreshment we may consume are controlled.

OOOPSIE...my mistake, I reread the article..and the teenage girl CAN buy a DIET drink on the way out to get an abortion, just not a REGULAR soda.

Hey--gang, check out what Bubba is up to now!

"My kid is a fat slob and it's all your fault!!!" syndrome coupled with typical spineless pandering by our "leaders".
When I went to high school, not all that long ago, we had Coke machines. We also had this large room we went to 2x a week to do physical activity. Sometime we even...went outside, to run!!! in a circle!!! for no reason whatsoever.

Hillary says that the village will only sell you water. Some of it will be colored. I suppose that she will now step to the podium and say how grateful she is that the industry is concerned with the health of our children and that it has always been her goal to provide healthy food for our children in our schools.

The village is saved!! It's all about the children!! What a farce!!

Party members will no longer allow soda in school/freedom?not

I am so glad I send my kids to private school.

The trial lawyers are going after Big Sugar using exactly the same tactics that brought them billions of dollars from Big Tobacco.

I just shake my head!

Wow. Thank goodness for the NEA and the DOE! I'm glad that our public education system has given up entirely and been replaced with the public nutrition and sexual perversion training system. It's certainly a relief to know the students will be skinnier after they aren't taught anything!

While these people's education panacea is nutrition, our local school district is absolutely convinced that class scheduling is the magic bullet.

You know they getting out front of the law suits.......

That's a good one!!!

Democrats, the party of small ideas. Do they really think that soda alone is what makes these children fat?
