This week, the Colorado Board of Education banned all soda from vending machines and cafeterias. Even diet sodas were routed by the Board. Milk and juice will be allowed in grade schools, and low-calorie sports drinks will be allowed in high schools. Yes, both regular and diet sodas can cause tooth decay. It's also pretty obvious that cafeteria menus of limp cardboard pizza and greasy tater tots are hazardous to children's health, but we haven't heard about a ban on those yet. Even though Colorado is the "leanest" of the U.S. states, 29% of Colorado's children are overweight or at-risk. It's unclear how much effect a soda ban at school will have on student consumption of soda - one study of 456 students over two years showed no difference in consumption of soda between students at schools that had banned soda and those at schools that hadn't. Students appear unmoved by the soda ban, Rocky Mountain News writers reported, after interviews with students leaving a Denver high school. Most were headed to the 7-11 across the street. Via UPI

As the last line says, they head to the 7-11 across the street. What is needed is to educate kids in a holistic way about their food choices and its implications. Here are few videos from NeoK12.com on kid's health and nutrition for parents who may be interested.

He too, loved his 2nd wife. She is a very considerate person, always patient and in fact is the merchant’s
confidante. Whenever the merchant faced some problems, he always turned to his 2nd wife and she would always help him out and tide him through difficult times

It's true what our moms said...we are what we eat. In fact, it's truer than they thought. What I eat doesn't just affect me anymore, it affects all of us.
Unfortunately, the story of food can sometimes be complicated. But envirovores help each other out...which is why this blog will be bringing you news, tips, and information about food and the environment every step of the way.
