"4. Diet sodas contain aspartame which is toxic to humans"

biggest friggin misconception about pop i've ever heard

aspertame is not toxic to humans unless they're phenylketonurics, because it produces phenylalanine, which most humans can break down easily and quickly, but for phenylketonurics it can cause minor headaches... its no big deal... i do have to agree with the other stuff though for the most part

Buying soda in school is stupid for the following reasons:

1. It's expensive (add up how much you spend per month)
2. It makes you thirsty (as all sugar filled drinks do)
3. It leads to diabetes and obesity
4. Diet sodas contain aspartame which is toxic to humans
5. It encourages states to reduce school funding when the school receives "outside funding" from soda sales
6. It makes you hyperactive and less able to concentrate in class

 



not to be ...rebelious but...


1. $15? for a month? thats almost nothing
2. Not me, and besides, what else am I soposed to drink? I quit drinking from water fountins ever since my science teacher told me about them.
3. I have a high metablism so it's geneticly imposble to get me fat
4. I don't drink diet. it tastes like shit
5. never knew that..
6. wrong. it helps me stay up a tiny bit more in class...

My school just replaced all sugary soda with diet.

It's worse now! All sugar items now have artificial sweeteners instead.

some of yall are so weird, LOL you hate soda. OMG, that was a good laugh for today. Don't buy it if you don't have the money and especially not everyday,duh, then its expensive. Its just an alternative. I'll bet you'll run to it if all school only served water for lunch and breakfast. Why complain when you have a CHOICE if you want to buy it or not. Yall see why this is so funny? ROTFLMAO!!

Soda kills (not really, but you get the point)

yes really. I have a friend that died from diabetes. You can get diabetes from soda, you get fat, which also gives you diabetes.. lol and when there is less school funding, less students get the help they need, and the less students that get the help they need, the more students that become hopeless bumbs and end up committing suicide. see?

I admit I drink too much soda but I generally work out though. I dont think we should ban it. People should be responsible for their own health. IF we ban soda,  we need to also ban most school food,  computers (kids play at the computer too much instead of exercising), and stress. Everything is bad for you.

I think those flavoured waters should be better. They are low in calories and Carbs, not highly carbonated as those other drinks, have that flavor of fruits. I think they are much better, and kids would actually use them if they replaced soda at school. the reasons I like them so much is the flavour and the fact that they are not highly carbonated, can't stand those highly carbonated drinks.

Most kids like sodas because of the taste, and they won't drink water when eating their lunch, as personally water takes away the taste from your food, so a lightly flavored fruit beverage would be great.
