Poll: Soda in school

[Irridium]

Surely it would be a lot easier to just get the fat little snots running around in a field, like we did when I was at school.

If they did that then parents would sue saying that they are pushing their kids too far.

Lame I know.

We don't have that in the Secondary schools here...

Banned in my last school, nobody cared about that. Hell, I had some friends buy a lot of cans and sell to other people.

Funny how they don't allow regular soda's yet they serve some of the worst food in their cafeterias along with the 10 minutes of exercise in gym class. Half of its just getting the kids prepared for the class.

Its like that stupid "Fat Tax" I recently heard of. All high fat and high sugar products have higher taxes on them. They supply it but its discouraged at the same time. Its like mom and her forbidden cookie jar, that *****!

i think is good for the kids, it would be better if they didn't have any junk food at all.

of course the junk food companies will differ.

 

[A random person]

why is it suddenly the schools responsibility for fat ass kids?

Lawsuits?

But on topic, I don't support banning soda from schools. I'm not really passionate, though, since I don't drink soda myself. Ban french fries and desserts, though, and I'll rage.

I was informed today its against the law to have regular sodas at school for students in the state of Georgia. Diet sodas are fine so is water and powerade. Because law makers feel that regulars sodas at school are whats making us fat. Not the millions other personal health choices we make in the day. Do you feel its a positive step to healthier America or stupid?

I need to make this clearer It is illegal to have in your possession regular sodas at my school

So you can still have this?

lol maybe without the label in a powerade bottle with food coloring

OP, you were actually better off than I was.

The state of California banned sodas (even diet) from schools 7 years ago. Not only that, but anything fatty and sugary. No more potato chips, chocolate, or candy. The only thing the schools managed to retain were Gatorade, fruit juice, and water.

But, as I had predicted all those years ago, if the students can't get their snacks and soft drinks directly from the school, they'll just be forced to turn to other methods. If the school is willing to give up a large source of income, fine. Their loss. Ever since 2005, I've seen kids with duffel bags full of chips, candy, and soda sell their "illegal products" to other students. The school got so upset, they had the school police do a crack down.

Yep, good 'ol California, rampantly going around and banning anything with flavor. Seriously, there's nothing good left to eat in California schools anymore. Pretty much all they can sell us is "healthy" shit like old fruit, salads that taste like cardboard, those shitty baked chips, water, and Gatorade (Gatorade isn't too bad though.)
