First, remember that the profit moargins on bottled tap water are higher than those on soft drinks.
Second, note that they will still be selling the ones with aspartame, at least in high sschools (where, presumably, the bulk of their sales are made). It's only the less toxic, less addictive ones they are agreeing to restrict....
That's great news. They didn't sell pop in school when I was there, but the only choice was milk, which wasn't good for me either. however if they're selling non-sugary other beverages, that's fine. Coke and Pepsi now sell low-cal sports drinks, so they'll still be making money.
I think it's a case of acting before they were forced out by pop bans (which school administrators have every right to do, if it is not in the best interest of the students, but that's just my opinion). H.
