Beverage Industry to Halt Soda Sales in Schools

The beverage industry has agreed to stop selling sodas in America's schools. At the beginning of the 2009-2010 school year, elementary school vending machines will hold water, unsweetened juice, and low-fat milk in place of sodas. High school machines may still hold diet sodas.
