August 2, 2008, 3:16pm (report abuse).We were at the school nutrition show in Philadelphia and surprised at how some of the food made it passed the healthy nutritional standards.
An example would be Steaz Sparkling Greeen Tea, a soda that had vitamin C. It had about the same amount of sugar as a Coke.
It's amazing how the owners of these companies can sleep at night, knowing they are exposing loopholes and generating profits that only hurt the health of future generations.
