What i Know

What i know about how soda is linked to childhood obesity is that over the past year or so, politicians, nutritionist, and parents have all participated in the apparent war against soda. States like Maryland and Connecticut have passed policies banning the sale of soda, and sport drinks during school hours. The school boards claim that without soda the number of obese children will reduce. Yet, these same schools are cutting recess from school hours. Also, with the growing class sizes the availabity of popular high school sport teams are limited to those who are already fisically fit. I also know that soda itself is not a bad food. Its calories per serving isnt nearly as high as common cafeteria foods like pizza, hamburger or fries. Although one never hears any complaints on these foods. The main problem is when these foods are combined to create a massive intake of calories.
