Anyhow.. these drinks are everywhere in schools. Many kids have 2-3 sodas per day. That's several hundred extra calories that most of their lazy butts will never burn off.

That's quite a bit! I hated pop (we call it pop in most of Canada) when I was a kid and didn't have my first one until I was 7 or 8. Even then, I was only allowed to drink it at birthday parties and other special occasions. For meals at home and even at restaurants, I had juice, milk or water.
