I didn't read the other posts, but removing soft drinks from veding machines in schools isn't going to help the obesity and health problems kids are facing.
The schools are still going to keep their contracts with the soft drink companies, but instead of soft drinks they will be replacing them with juices, fruit drinks and sports drinks. The Toronto District school board has a contract with Coca-Cola. Coke will be replacing their pop with Fruitopia, juice, iced tea and powerade. What I don't people realize is that these drinks contain just as much sugar as soft drinks. These drinks are not a healthy alternative for kids.
