Pepsi to Cut Sugary Drinks From Schools

PepsiCo plans to remove sugary drinks from schools worldwide, following the success of programs in the U.S. aimed at cutting down on childhood obesity. The company says it will remove full-calorie, sweetened drinks from schools in more than 200 countries by 2012, marking the first such move by a major soft drink producer. Both PepsiCo Inc., and Coca-Cola Co. adopted guidelines to stop selling sugary drinks in U.S. schools in 2006.
