Connecticut's state senate has voted to ban the sale of sodas in schools and the governor has
said that she supports and will sign the
legislation. The ban would prohibit schools from stocking anything other than low-fat, nonfat, soy and rice milks
and 100% fruit and vegetable juices in their vending machines. There would be an exception that could allow sodas, diet
sodas and sports drinks, like Gatorade, to be sold at school events, such as football games.
The idea behind the legislation is, of course, to try an promote healthier choices among students while decreasing childhood obesity and Connecticut joins several other states, including California, in passing such legislation.
