Thank you, I was beginning to think I was only one here who cannot understand this zealous defense of having junk drinks accessible to our kids in a place where we as parents have no control or monitoring capacity. 2 of our 3 kids *love* soda, and will choose it over anything else if given the chance. The third just doesn't like it, and will chose water or milk.

I've never thought it was a good idea to have soda in the schools, and the politics of whose idea it was to get rid of it is irrevelant.

I agree - see post 45. I think that conservatives should be as concerned about their children's health as liberals are, and excessive consumption of soda is VERY bad for health. It is arguably the most damaging thing in our diet.
