Pepsi to pull sodas off school shelves worldwide by 2012

By Mark Fisher | Wednesday, March 17, 2010, 11:56 AM

PepsiCo plans to remove its full-calorie, sugar-sweetened sodas and drinks from schools around the world by 2012, according to this PepsiCo news release and this Associated Press story. Also, The Consumerist has an interesting piece about it.

The AP story notes that, “The move, aimed at fighting childhood obesity, follows the success of similar changes in the U.S. by PepsiCo and rival Coca-Cola,” apparently in 2006.

Did I miss that entirely? Are there no “regular” Cokes and Pepsis available in local school vending machines?

Restaurant owners/managers: let us know if you’re serving a special Easter menu

By Mark Fisher | Wednesday, March 17, 2010, 06:59 AM

Let us know whether your restaurant will be open Easter Day. We’re looking for special menus and events — Easter brunches and dinners with special menus, for example — rather than businesses that are regularly open on Sundays and which are not doing anything out of the ordinary for the holiday. But those who are open and serving a special menu should email their information to me at mfisher@daytondailynews.com by noon Monday, March 22 with their restaurant name, address, phone number, the hours they’re serving on Easter Sunday, details about their special menu and prices, and whether reservations are accepted/required.

We’ll put together a list for this Taste web page and also for a news story in the March 26 Go! section of the Dayton Daily News.

Thanks for your help.
