Soda Ban A Bust

According to a study that looked at the outcome of a soda ban at school it turns out the ban had no appreciable effect on kids sugar intake.  The kids just got their sugar elsewhere.  Yet another example of trying to legislate behavior by a bunch of misguided school boards.  There is much more here.  The study looked at thousands of students across 40 states and found removing soda from the vending machines and cafeterias just prompted kids to choose an alternate with the same sugar content.
