Sneaky Sugar and The Companies that Sneak

Not too long ago my health club replaced all soft drinks, sports drinks and enhanced water with one option: water.  Sure, they raised the price by a quarter, but it sent a clear message; it is hard to lose weight if you are finishing your workout with a 12oz can of cola. 

 But, now the sugar is sneaky back into our school. The NY Times featured this article in the business section.  Remember how the major cola companies were lauded last year for removing high sugar sodas from schools?  Did you really think there was not an ulterior motive?  $$
