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.

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

The school board has the authority to determine what may and may not be sold on school grounds.

I find it interesting that it's the evil mean profiteering corporations which are saving our children from too many cokes and not the caring compassionate school board which only seeks what's best for the children. (sarcasm off)

School lunches have existed for decades, and somebody in authority decides the menus. That's just the way it is. Soda happens to be a major contributor to obesity and Type-2 diabetes, so eliminating it from schools is a good idea, even if liberals are behind it. I hate to think that there is something in conservatism that is against a healthy diet. If so, that is an argument against conservatism.
