The effort to reduce obesity is taking aim once again at sugary drinks. A coalition of health groups is asking the public to try-out “Soda-Free Sundays.”
There’s pretty solid evidence Americans, on average, are drinking a lot more soft drinks and other sweetened beverages than they did a generation ago. Back in the 1990’s, for example, soft drink sales surpassed milk.
Voters may have repealed taxes on sodas, but that’s not scaring away public health leaders. They’re urging parents to keep their kids away from sodas and other sugary drinks this holiday season. It’s part of an overall effort to combat obesity.
