Cut Soda Demand with Education

Wisconsin State Journal Editorial:

The most effective way to improve the diets of young people is to educate them to make healthful choices.

That's worth remembering in the aftermath of last week's announcement that sugared sodas will be banned from U.S. schools by the 2009-2010 school year.

The ban, voluntarily agreed to by the nation's largest beverage distributors, addresses the public health problems that have accompanied the soaring consumption of sodas in the past generation.

The WiSJ is correct - education is key. I imagine that there will be "underground" soda suppliers once these changes are implemented.
