The U.S. soft drinks industry says it has dramatically cut the number of high-calorie soft drinks sold in schools as part of a drive to tackle obesity. The American Beverage Association said shipments of full-calorie drinks to schools were down 95 percent. Nearly one in three children and teenagers in the U.S. are overweight or obese, and health experts say sugary drinks are part of the problem. Several U.S. states and cities are considering taxing soft drinks. Under voluntary guidelines in place since 2006, full-calorie soft drinks were removed from school canteens and vending machines. However, other drinks, including diet Sodas, are being promoted in their place. ...

Here’s good news on the nutrition front. Three years after the nation’s beverage makers voluntarily agreed to stop sending so many high-calorie Sodas to public schools, it appears big changes have been made in our nation’s schools. According to a status report issued by the beverage makers, along with the American Heart Association and the William J. Clinton Foundation, the soda companies are sending 95 percent fewer full-calorie Sodas to schools. Under terms of the voluntary agreement, signed three years ago, the beverage companies agreed to ship only low-fat milk, bottled water and 100 percent juice to elementary and middle schools. In addition to those drinks, they agreed to ship more diet Sodas, calorie-capped sports drinks, flavored waters and teas to high schools. So chances are that you may be more likely to find a low-cal Gatorade or a flavored water or a Diet Coke in a high-school vending machine, but you may have to search to find a Mountain Dew. Proof of real change, however, is in the sales figures. And the report found substantial change, particularly in the nation’s high schools. Five years ago, unhealthy full-calorie Sodas and sports drinks (along with imitation fruit drinks and high-calorie tea drinks) once constituted 75 percent of beverages sold in high schools. Today, those full-calorie options make up only 33 percent of the drinks sold. The progress report was prepared by the independent firm, Keybridge Research. ...

A proposed federal ban on junk food in public schools is aimed at keeping kids from getting fat, but the idea could shrink the value of lucrative beverage contracts cash-strapped First Coast districts depend upon. The ban would require schools to replace the soda in vending machines with juice, water and other healthy fare — and that has some school officials worried. Will students keep plunking in their quarters when all the Pepsi and Mountain Dew is gone? read more ...
