God forbid a child have a decision to make about what kind of drink to purchase at school. How could they be expected to take on that kind of responsibility? Maybe this freedom thing is just too dangerous. You guys might be right.

I think that most conservatives believe that government should lead by example, and that the schools should provide good role models and teach proper values. I see nothing whatsoever improper about the public schools providing the students with firm instruction about what constitutes a good diet, and this includes not offering food choices that are demonstrably harmful to health.
