POPS in Arcadia OK has Dublin Dr Pepper of course

I believe that this should not be a nation-wide or state-wide issue. I believe it is a school-wide choice and should be voted on by the parents of the district. It is a parent's responsibility to teach their kids to eat healthily, and they can then choose whether or not to reinforce these ideals in school by banning soda, or they can trust their kids to make the right decision. Personally, I think it would be beneficial to vote to ban soda in elementary and potentially middle schools, because children of these ages are less likely to way the costs of the sugar and calories involved. A seven year old isn't likely to turn away a Dublin Dr. Pepper.
