Comments on: Practicing What We Teach: Getting Soda and Junk Food Out Of Public Schools http://www.bloggernews.net/112069 High-quality English language analysis and editorial writing on the news.

My Web site, www.takeabreakfromsoda.com, offers hope for people struggling with excessive soda consumption. My proven plan for success can help people trying to break the buy-and-drink cycle so often re-enforced in commercials and grocery store displays. "Take a Break from Soda: A Workbook for Success" includes more than 120 tips for problem soda drinkers, presented from a holistic perspective. All state and federal guideline issues aside, personal responsibility is the best way to avoid becoming a "soda addict." But I salute those who are trying to make it harder for soda companies to promote their products inside the school system. Let's hope that one day soon, the common perspective toward soda views it as a once-in-a-while treat -- not as dietary staple.
