That's why they end up becoming rebellious or psychotic. Soda in schools is not the fucking end of the world, nor is it going to contribute to the downfall of a teenager. I'll tell you what does contribute to the downfall of a teenager: unnecessary rules - and a lot of them.[/quote] FAQ Keyword Search: Post Options Favorites Manager Notify me of new replies to this topic by email Notify me of new replies to this topic by private message Original Post davjs Posted at 8:59 pm on Sep. 7, 2006 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

Replies Skylily4ever Posted at 10:50 am on April 29, 2009 I used to drink a lot of soda. Not anymore. My mom was buying two 24 packs of soda everyday, which 5 of us drink soda, so that tells ya how much we went through. She still buys a lot, but now I don't drink it, I drink lemonade and water. rendiggity Posted at 11:06 pm on April 26, 2009 i do not go to school or drink soda! USCGstud Posted at 8:06 pm on April 25, 2009 no soda in our town .... but high price for fat tho. Nalexandra09 Posted at 3:36 am on Mar. 27, 2009 my school has no machines SAMMYJS99 Posted at 6:31 am on Mar. 25, 2009 Quote: from sexyginger at 6:24 pm on May 20, 2008 ok umm WOW, i have diabetes AND guess what genius!!?! I HATE SODA. so go suck on it. you can only get a certain kind of diabetes from too much sugar, type 2, and they cant even prove that causes it. ITS GENETICS DUMBASS. get it right. and dont write about hings and assume things you dont know anything about. do you really have to be mean??? Bebop Posted at 6:54 pm on Mar. 22, 2009 My high school removed pop machines after I graduated, though I suspect it had more to do with funding than morality. Personally, I think kids should be able to buy a delicious tasty beverage if they so choose. jesuswaswhite Posted at 12:05 am on Mar. 19, 2009 my highschool removed sodas =( LoveKay Posted at 6:16 pm on Mar. 15, 2009 That is why my high school got rid of all soda and such a few years back. birdi217 Posted at 9:54 am on Mar. 13, 2009 Diet Coke addict   They dont let us drink coffee in school so i need my caffeine somewhere!! inFamous Posted at 4:12 pm on Feb. 18, 2009 u faggot  soda in school is awesome all we get is stupid ass milk conkling Posted at 10:20 am on Jan. 27, 2009 I read a book by this guy named Michael Pollin called In Defense Of Food and it's all about the evils of western eating and growing habits-- one of the WORST things for a human is high fructose corn syrup.  it's the equivalent of crack to the body.  Kids and teens shouldn't drink soda or even eat sugar-- It is not physically or mentally good for you!  I know I've cut it out.  I don't even drink fruit juice unless it's fresh squeezed anymore cause it's not that much better. biflexible Posted at 7:02 am on Jan. 9, 2009 I agree with the initiative 100% but I wish something could be done to improve parenting. Obviously the whole issue is ridiculously complex as it deals with human interaction but I strongly fear that as a society we are compromising to the extent of neglecting the role of parenting. The government and education establisments can only do so much on the macro plane without active engagement on the individual scene. adelude94 Posted at 4:59 pm on Dec. 15, 2008 My school doesn't even sell soda. The school district made this wellness policy last year in response to the district finally realizing the obesity crisis. So in 7th grade I sold candy bars to raise money for the music department. Now I sell citrus. The school has gotten rid of soda as well, but ironically the school still sells fattening government food at lunch. Instead of having Phys Ed every other day throughout the 7 day rotation during one marking period, it's during two. But it's good, I like Phys Ed class. austin s23 Posted at 11:55 pm on Dec. 5, 2008 i truely agree with this! guesswut14 Posted at 3:14 pm on Dec. 4, 2008 my school doesnt sell soda but i agree Most recent 15 of 289 previous replies displayed.
