Some of the country's biggest beverage companies have agreed to stop selling sugary soft drinks and other high calorie beverages in the nation's schools, in an initiative announced today by former President Bill Clinton and Gov. Mike Huckabee of Arkansas, both of them leaders in the movement to help stamp out childhood obesity.

Its about time schools stopped encouraging children to eat foods and drink beverages that will cut their lives short by decades. Since public schools are so totally ineffective at changing in any way that makes a positive difference, this or a federal law was going to be the only way to make this happen. I think its a great victory for the American people. Way to stop encouraging your kids to kill themselves through a shit diet. It makes me proud, if only for a moment, to be American.
