The School boards’ reasoning behind the banning of sodas was because children in the United States were overweight, and many pre-teens were being diagnosed with level two diabetes, this supposedly was linked to the consumption of soda. Banning the sale of these beverages is not solving the health issues that they are concerned with, it is simply making the idea of no soda at all more appealing to children. The truth is that if parents allow children to drink sodas they will simply begin to bring them to school from their own homes any way.
