Why did schools in Texas stop putting Cokes in vending machines?

Question

I'm in my schools newspaper staff and this is my story. Recently vending machines have stoped selling Cokes. All we have is Coke Zero and some Fuzz, Fusion and Life Water. I asked my principle and he said it was a new state law or something.

If you have any info plz reply

Can't find anything on Texas in particular but Oklahoma has to. It's to fight against childhood/teen obesity. Here's a few article links. You can google more. http://www.danmahony.com/sugarinschool1....

Because with the growing rate of obese fat kids, we will have to make bigger rooms, bigger desks, bigger school buses, and even bigger toilets to accommodate fat kids.

Answer 5

The reason is Jamie stupid fat ******** lispy oliver. He said that coke is no good for children, even the Yr 11. So they take it out. I havnt had coke in my school in about 4 years. Its not just the sugar, its the colours and chemicals they put in it aswell.
