Yesterday I saw a fullpage ad in the Washington Post showing the major soft drink companies moving sugar-free drinks into the schools replacing the current selection of sugar-containing beverages. This was a joint ad by the Coca-Cola, Pepsi and Dr Pepper companies. They were showing their responsibility as this relates to making decisions for school age people as opposed to allowing them the choice of the sugar-filled drinks.
As parents or spouses, sonsider the same repsonsibility: If you are doing the shopping for the household, do not allow those sugar filled drinks into your residence if you have any people with weight control issues living with you. Childhood obesity and adult obesity are the two most major health concerns in this country. Eliminating sugar containing drinks is a relatively easy way of ridding pounds without much effort. Personally, I lost 19 pounds 17 years ago by just getting rid of those cokes.
At the store, make your selections for your family healthy and responsible ones.
