Parents have a responsibility to teach their children good eating habits and proper balance.
As parents and consumers, we have the freedom to make a choice. Just because I find what others eat appallingly doesn't mean I should campaign for their choice to be removed from the menu. Soda is definitely not a healthy lunchtime beverage. A prohibition also would not reduce soda consumption much. Such proposals do not instill any health values.
