School Bans Coca-Cola at Football Games

Attention high school football fans in Maine: B.Y.O.C. – Bring your own Coke.
The Portland Public School system will no longer allow soft drinks to be sold on school property – including at high school football games. School officials are also banning the sale of gridiron staples like buttered popcorn and potato chips.
Instead, football fans will be encouraged to nosh on baked tortilla chips, reduced fat string cheese and hummus.
The total ban on the sale of soft drinks is part of a new policy governing the sales of healthy foods and beverages, said Chanda Turner, Portland’s school health coordinator.
“We’re taking it to another level,” Turner told Fox News. “We’re not going to sell soda and it doesn’t matter who it’s to.”

Their team plays to an empty stadium once or twice, this’ll get changed.

That’s is sort of the direction my thoughts went. I wonder how long this will work. And will the fans/spectators be allowed to bring in their own stuff?

“We’re not going to sell soda and it doesn’t matter who it’s to.”
Obviously they aren’t going to teach grammar either.

I can just see those spirited high schoolers now, cheering on their home team while sipping Perrier and munching celery sticks dipped in hummus.

Why not get rid of the football too? It's made out of pigskin (or rather dead cows)...
Maybe they could throw around a free-range chicken instead.

An excellent opportunity for some free-market, entrepreneur-minded students to set up a Freedom Food stand outside the stadium selling all the stuff people want. I mean, I like hummus, but not during a damn football game!

“We’re taking it to another level,”
...I guess there are more “levels” of stupidity than I was aware.

It is cheaper to take your own sodas..I usually take water and juice sometimes soft drinks..
Has anyone seen the machine that is being sold to make your own soft drinks..we have one and the drinks almost the same taste as the the drinks you buy..I like them but do not drink any soft drink every day..
