Currently, the federal government is considering its first-ever warning that soft drinks can cause unhealthy weight gain. While soda sales have nearly doubled during the past 20 years, so has the percentage of obesity. Battle lines are being drawn and the debate is heating up.
Should a warning be issued concerning weight gain and soda consumption?
Should there be a ban on soda commercials during children's television programs?
Should soda be eliminated at school? Currently the sale of soda helps fund many school activities.
Action Sparked: There is strong evidence linking the consumption of soda and fruit drinks to obesity. An occasional soft drink presents no problem, but one or more a day could be disastrous to the health of you and your children.

Thats why I only drink Diet sodas,
I cant quit, they need to make an AA for soda-holics. I would have to be there, in the front row. haha
Yes, my husband and I read alot of health-related articles, and soda is loaded with sugar. Even the so-called diet sodas containing artificial sweeteners still cause weight gain. I admit I love to drink both kinds, and once hooked it's hard to quit. It would be a good idea not to get the kids hooked at such a young age--they never had soda at school when I grew up and we survived. I don;t think activities should be funded to the detrement of our kids health
Thanks for writing this.
