Soda Debate Report

To start off the soda ban of New York is a terrible idea and will cost more money to instate than leaving the intake of soda the way it is. This is proven in an info-graphic given by graph paper diaries in which a child is speaking to governmental leaders about teaching them basic math, before they try and educate the population on health priorities. Now someone might disagree with this argument

However this argument is weak due to the most popular places, such as fast-food chains, are affected by the ban. You would also have to go out of your way to buy more soda, which is a huge inconvenience and it will cost more money, simply because you want an unhealthy beverage. The text “Soda’s a Problem But...” Klein argues against the ban, but a lot of her pieces of reasoning are not logical, for example “People would simply buy two 16-ounce cups” (Klein 289). This is illogical because it will cost more money to buy multiple cups of soda, which would cost more money, and they may not finish the soda’s that they bought at the convenience store or restaurant.  If you bought more cups of soda you would be taking up space within your car, if you have less space you will not have anywhere else to store more valuable objects like your phone or wallet. Soda being harder to get will help us make a healthier society because it will discourage people from buying more soda than they actually

Yes, because if you really think about it, if soda is not taxed then everyone would have diabetes if they drink soda.But the funny thing is that if you do tax soda it will not be effective,the tax soda will hurt people, and soda is unhealthy.

The government has taken initiative to cut down the amount of soda that Americans are allowed do consume. They say that America will be less fat if we don't drink it. If America and want to loose weight the have to be wiling to want to work at loosing the weight.

The article I chose to read about is called Soda on the Menu. Throughout this article, it discusses the drink options that are available on the menus in restaurants and what should be done about it. This article is mainly focused on the drinks that are available to kids on their menu's and how this is a huge contributing factor to the childhood obesity our world is seeing right now. It has been proven that children get 25% of their calories from restaurant foods and beverages. Although there is usually a set menu for the kids, the drinks that are provided on it are not the best choices. Many of them include soda, lemonade, sugar sweetened juice drinks, and also milk. There are many statistics that are give throughout this article, but the one

Students should be free to make their own choices with parent approval, there are more benefits from the sales of soda than negative, there is no way to fairly determine what can be bought and what could not be purchased if soda were to be taken away, and that soda options will be purchased elsewhere if the schools remove the items

Cupertino needs a soda tax to decrease the consumption of soda. Having a soda tax is like a food chain. By putting an additional tax sugary drinks with high calories and low nutrition we can lower the amount of purchased soda. Cutting back on the consumption soda can result in a healthier lifestyle. A healthy lifestyle can increase one's lifespan by 10 years. If we can get people to drink less soda the risk of obesity will decrease. If obesity decreases, the risk of high cholesterol and heart attack decreases. The chances of diabetes will also decrease. Once these health issues commence to fade, the government will spend less money on healthcare and more money on schools. More money for schools will allow students to have a better education.

As Americans we should have a choice on what we drink and put into our bodies and not be told by lawmakers what to do.

Will consuming only 16 oz. of soda make you skinnier? Of course, assuming you won’t buy a higher amount from vending machines, super-markets, or convenience stores. Well, this is what the controversial soda ban introduced by Mr. Bloomberg is proposing, an unsuccessful quest to reduce obesity rates in New York by limiting the amount of soda per customer. A ban that also is indirectly threatening the soda industry including small businesses, which might lead to job losses. Despite all the positive outcomes that this ban might generate overtime, restricting New York’s consumers from buying large sizes of the sugary drinks would not prove an effective way of guiding Americans into eating healthy, healthy living should rather be properly taught and practiced across the country.

When public health is concerned, ethical conflicts melded with political issues often arise, such as the matter related to the soda ban. On one hand, it can be said that one role of the government is to protect the health of its citizens and ensure their safety. For example, through agencies such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which is responsible for protecting the public’s health by assuring the safety of drugs, biological products, medical devices, and our nation's food supply. If we consider, prevention as protecting the public, certainly the ban of soda by the government could be seen as ethical, as it would be for the common good of the entire community, preventing obesity, diabetes and poor dental health. The government’s

Soda banning is one of the uttermost debatable and controversial topics in the country. One of the questions that people are asking is should soda be banned? The soda ban is the best way to go to eradicate obesity in the country. It will lower the risks for diabetes, cancer, and death. If we banned it, we will save people from the ramifications of their health. More importantly, the economy could increase and create numerous jobs for out of work people. However, if the ban does happen diet soda won’t be a part of the ban even though it consists of a dangerous chemical, aspartame. Furthermore, if we banned it, we might be taking away a citizen's right to drink whatever they crave whenever they please. That being the case, the biggest

The majority of high schools and middle schools have vending machines that serve soda. They also offer soda with school lunches. Since students see soda , they don't see the problem with drinking it every day at lunch. Since drinking soda daily has been already a problem in the world, we're adding to it by offering soda at school. Therefore, I think we should offer only nutritious drinks such as white milk, water, and natural fruit juice.

One of the main causes of child obesity is eating and drinking awfully. At schools this issue can be addressed by offering healthy drinks such as water, white milk, and natural fruit juice. At first, kids may not enjoy them as much, but in the future they will thank us. Nowadays, so many people eat and drink terribly and it's time that somebody helps with it. By providing healthful drinks at schools they can improve a child's health, improve children’s grades, and it would improve the school's attitude.

When we first hear the word soda, we often imagine sugary like sweetness that comes in all flavors, cavities, and often times ever increasing waist lines. We are even so quick to label soda consumption as one of the main contributors to obesity, but not so fast. As a wise man once said, “Everything is poison; it just depends on the dose.” There Are numerous factor that contribute to obesity such as genetics (hormonal imbalances), alcohol consumption, fast food and societal propaganda. The overall obesity pandemic that countries and even the world are currently experiencing is quite literally a bottom up problem. Putting a limitation on something as minuscule as soda will not bear fruitful results because soda consumption is not the main issue.

In an industry dominated by two heavyweight contenders, Coke and Pepsi, in fact, between 1996 and 2004 per capita consumption of carbonated soft drinks (CSD) remained between 52 to 54 gallons per year. Consumption grew by an average of 3% per year over the next three decades. Fueling this growth were the increasing availability of CSD, the introduction of diet and flavored varieties, and brand extensions. There is couple of reasons why the industry is so profitable such as market share, availability and diversity and brand name and world class marketing.
