My bad. I just posted this.
I don't care if the feds do consider themselves soda police. (well I do, but that's moot) The fine is outrageous. How about "Naughty, naughty. NEXT time we may fine you"?
"It's for the children after all."
$15K is a lot of money to a school. To the feds, it's one luxury night in Vegas for GSA - where they drink harder stuff than soda.
Blood boiling...
The OUTRAGE!
My kid likes to have a nice cold beer with lunch. But the laws in place prohibit this freedom. What has become of this country!
Here's the problem that this ruling is trying to address.. .
CDC - NPAO - Obesity Facts - Adolescent and School Health
Childhood obesity has more than tripled in the past 30 years.
The percentage of children aged 611 years in the United States who were obese increased from 7% in 1980 to nearly 20% in 2008. Similarly, the percentage of adolescents aged 1219 years who were obese increased from 5% to 18% over the same period.
In 2008, more than one third of children and adolescents were overweight or obese.1,2
Overweight is defined as having excess body weight for a particular height from fat, muscle, bone, water, or a combination of these factors.3 Obesity is defined as having excess body fat.4
Overweight and obesity are the result of caloric imbalancetoo few calories expended for the amount of calories consumedand are affected by various genetic, behavioral, and environmental factors.5,6
But to the Gatsby's of the world, it's about the freedom of vending machine companies to sell unhealthy stuff to children.
Freedom, baby. Screw responsibility. That's for poor people.
Heres the deal.
school is government property.
Soda is teeth rotting crap.
Gov't should also force kids to get on a treadmill.
Gov't should also force kids to eat their vegetables, if they don't, have a bureacrat on standby to force feed the kid against his will.

Isn't that called PE class?
Utah High School Fined $15,000 for Selling Soda | Video | TheBlaze.com
N/M the fine. WTF? Since when does the federal government regulate whether soda can be sold at a high school? They sold soda at my high school and I had no problem with it. And how is it even Constitutional for the government to restrict soda sales?
Four more years of Obama anyone?

Hahahaha
You think the soda ban in schools started with President Obama? (of course you do!) Didn't Coke and Pepsi sue the government for the right to have their soda machines in school hallways back in the mid 1980's when the bans first began?
School cafeterias are a profit center for schools now because of the NSLP. 15 grand is a drop in the bucket compared to the amount of reimbusement money that most high schools gets.
However unless this school has repeatedly ignored the rule I think they should get off with just a warning.

Yes, unplugging soda machines is from an Obama directive as is the fine.

...and it's just about standards. It would be a real reach to say this part deals with unplugging machines or fines.Gives USDA the authority to set nutritional standards for all foods regularly sold in schools during the school day, including vending machines, the a la carte lunch lines, and school stores.
Being stupid is not defending liberty.
