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.”

Sometimes water just seems to make my mouth DRIER. It needs a little sugar in it to make it get absorbed into your system faster.
The ONLY problem I have with your sentiments is that she looks decidedly not guilty for a liberal. Perhaps she can be reeducamacted.
And the food/health police march on..
No one stuck up for the smokers, so now they move on to the eaters. Oh well.. now I get to call soda drinkers “addicts” and tell them that buttered popcorn is a “dirty filthy habit” lol
Hell, naw! If they were doing that, they'd be illegal themselves!
This is absolutely PATHETIC.
Back in the day I used to imagine when some moonbat would propose such nonsense that everyone else around him/her would just laugh it off and then make a point to remove such moonbat in the near future.
Not anymore, now they all agree with the MB in the fear of being labeled a hater, obstructionist, republican etc....
I hope EVERY fan boycotts these games.....
Yea, I can only imagine what that “Special” staff person would be like.
Let me guess......
GAY
COMMIE
.....Or a GAY COMMIE.
I’ll take GAY COMMIE for a dollar Alex.
“Get yer deep fried Hummus on a stick heere!”
“We got yer chocolate dipped falafals, etc”.
To all you folks out there who couldn’t wait to vote against smoking in your areas, this is exactly what you get, runaway government. Enjoy.
