It is the number of Calories that makes people obese.

But how much nutrition is really contained in a 'juice' containing mostly water and sugar.

One problem is the fact that school water fountains don't work 60% of the time. And when choosing between an overpriced bottle of municipal water (Aquafina, Dasani), or a Root Beer, I'm gonna pick (and usually did) the latter.

I do agree that elementary schools shouldn't have soda machines accessible to children, though.
