Coca Cola is probably one of the few companies to really outperform in this market. A tax on it would be stupid, but then again I don’t really like that public schools sell this stuff.
Yeah, me either, but I don’t think they have any business regulating what the kids can bring for their own consumption, which some schools do try to do. I was raised to think that a soda was an occasional treat, not all that good for you, but if you have one once a week or so with a burger or taco, it’s fun and won’t kill you. As a result I probably drink two sodas a month. The parents need to be teaching the kids, rather than the schools teaching them that a village of busybodies is what’s needed.
