Under pressure from parents and schools, Coke and Pepsi and Schweppes agreed to pull their sugar laden soda from schools last year and replace them with 100% juice, low-fat milk, and water.
For this, the companies were lauded.... but far far too soon it seems...
The companies have since regrouped, tweaked their agreement, and come out quite justified in now adding sports drinks, vitamin water, and other sugar-laden nectar for your (soon-to-be-chubby) little hummingbird to drink while at school.
I don't blame the big guys for trying to make a dime, but can't you leave the poor, tired, fat kids alone? Just this once?
