This is a great article - a good jump-off point to open up a conversation about kid's health. I am concerned though that the School Board may go overboard in regulating nutrition in schools. Parents are the ultimate decision makers and models of what happens to their own kids. Parents and schools should work together but not feel like it is a "must" or else you are a "bad" parent. Moderation is always the key to good health. My kids don't have soda on a consistent basis - maybe once in a great while. Water, milk, juice (watered down mostly) are their basic drinks.
