Tell this to L.A.U.S.D., which in their infinite wisdom (gained through expensive consultants, no doubt, and did I hear nepotism?) decided to replace sodas in their vending machines, yet replaced them with fruit juice, and Gatorade (because it is a sports drink). How about Jolt cola (so the kids can stay awake in class), or put in a coffee bar, so kids can feel grown-up as they eat their candy cigarettes. Then they will be socially ready for the beer bar at the university of their choice. And by the way, who resisted the change from sodas? The coaches, who are supposed to educate our children. One such school claimed that it would cost them $2 million a year in lost revenues. But then again, they were serving coffee cake for breakfast (but no coffee, how unamerican?) until Adm. Brewer came along. Now maybe Budwiser can come up with a non-alcoholic beer. Think of the marketing opportunity!

Eating to much of any one thing is not a smart move. There is no one food that will give you everything that you need to maintain a healthy body.

have a child that insists that the only thing worth eating is mac and cheese.. Have an aunt who tries to live on rice pudding and cokes. YUCK.. Turns out she is mentally deranged.. wonder why that could be...

Feeding your child an over abundance of fruit juice makes no more sense than the two examples above. Duh..

moderation and balance ... There really is a reason to try to eat that way. We need a little bit of everything in our diets to keep us healthy. Even getting out into the sun to let the body make some Vit D.

So many people in this country are Politically correct about taking care of themselves that they seem to forget that for millions of years.. we did not live in antiseptic homes. Eating dirt ... no asthma.. no autism. Really makes me wonder ...
