Because this really bugs me immensly
I feel the together we're better, we can direct our kids and youth our selves and our loved ones towards that change for their better future health and empowernment. At best knowing the difference and the reasons they are being PUSHED allows us to be informed and makes all our choices matter
Is your kid's public school a Coke school or a Pepsi school?
If you don't know what I mean, consider yourself lucky. Starting in the early
'90s, cash-strapped public schools began selling exclusive "pouring
rights" to one or another Big Soda company, which would then supply all the
beverages sold in on-site snack bars, stores, and soda machines as well as at
sports events. Along with sugary drinks, of course, the companies also stuffed
the schools with plenty of advertisements.
