Spare calories turn to fat.
So I guess I have to worry about that ~100 calories I get from the coke while chowing down on my double hulkburgers. I'll just get water, please.

I just thought of something. Is the "no cokes in public school cafeterias" rule a Texas state law, or is it up to the district? Q, Mind, y'all know?
There aren't any machines in my cafeteria. Right outside the cafeteria on all three entrances, though...

In any case, drinking excessive amounts of soda is bad for the health. Just like eating excessive amounts of oranges or having too much excercise. Basically, too much of anything is bad. The question, which I think we answered, was "do the schools have the right to decide what to do about their student's health?" We came up with "No, they don't."

Moving on...

Keep the soda, its a free country. Besides, when they get out of school, they will urge for soda and become so damn obese that it doesnt matter.

My schools only have sodas in the teachers' lounges, and it's always been that way. I really wish I could have sodas in school, but I'd have to bring it in from home, with a cool pack, and a lunchbox etc. (too much of a hassle.) I'm kind of like anticrombie in that I'm not fat: I'm 137 lbs. and 6' tall. Of course, I eat a lot, and a lot of junk food, but I work out/do kung fu/have to do workouts for varsity ski team, so I just stay skinny. But I drink all the cherry coke humanly possible. I don't think that a school should be able to take that away from somebody, and I think it would be in the best interest of the school and the kids to put up a soda machine. We do have a nesquik machine, snapple, powerade, fruit2o, etc, but nothing carbonated. Waah.

should they let us feed our addiction to soda? or help us fight it off?
