Big Nanny is dead serious when it comes to being Big Nanny...

Davis High fined for soda sales violation

And, of course, the government doesn't give a rat's ass that this ultimately hurts the students themselves...

So school activities suffer so the school can pay Uncle Slam...

Of course, the government inspectors that are getting paid by the taxpayer need to justify their existence like a cop having a status quo for traffic tickets, so they attack the schools and say "Look! I'm doing a good job!"...

They knew the law and did this to themselves. The parents should be outraged at the school. I agree wholeheartedly with efforts to end childhood obesity.

So ****ing awesome!! Punish the kids for the mistake of school! Go go, big retarded brother!

If I were a parent I would not want the schools selling pop to my child. I think childhood obesity is a serious and lifelong issue and children don't have the self control and knowledge that adults do.

I imagine it's hard enough for parents to provide nutritious meals kids without being undermined at school.

We never had pop in school when I was in school

Kids are getting fat, IMO, because they've been taught that carbs, not proteins, should be the foundation of their diet.

In the end, it comes down to one main thing: energy, ie calories, and it doesn't matter what the source is.

Too many calories is too many calories. The difference is - some calories come with more beneficial perks such as fiber, vitamins, the ability to keep you full for longer or, the ability to make you hunger for more. But in the end it's still calories in vs calories burned and too many equals obesity.

The best dietary foundation is variety, whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables and lean meats in moderate amounts

And exercise (sigh...)

It is the friggin parents responsibility to teach their children how to eat right, not nanny government. If you as a parent can't control your children it seems to me that is your fault not anyone else's.

I think parents get undermined. It's extremely difficult to control your childs eating habits outside of the home. It's something my parents, for example, never really had to deal with because our schools didn't sell that stuff.
