According to a September 17, 2007 article from The Associated Press, since 2004 there has been a significant decrease in the volume of high-calorie soft drinks being sold at schools across the country. Based on results of a recent industry report, the article indicates that the move toward healthier drinks (such as bottled water and unsweetened juice) is due in part to a May 2006 agreement by industry leaders to stop selling non-diet soft drinks at most public and private schools over the next three years. In addition, some states have passed legislation which bans the sale of soda in schools.
