Soda sales in public schools
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Coca-Cola and other major beverage makers and distributors will stop selling soda in public schools after increasing pressure that soda helps make children fat. Water, unsweetened juice and low-fat milks will still be sold, with diet soda only allowed in high schools.
What do you think? Are kids losing their right to choose what they drink? Will schools lose needed income? Or is this just another issue of the free market vs. personal responsibility?

Take time for you
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
What can seem like a chore for some is very relaxing for others. Some of my friends and family think I’m crazy because they say I can’t relax. I’m always on the go, and my escapes often involve sports or other physical activities. However, when my body needs a break, I try to listen — like I did last weekend when I went to Piedmont Park and fell asleep on a hill in the warm afternoon sun. I also enjoy walks along the beach, especially at sunrise when hardly anyone is around, except for wildlife and the occasional beachcomber. For others of us, relaxing means spending time in a bubble bath, sipping a cup of tea or sleeping late. Do you spend your time, doing something — or nothing — to escape life’s craziness?
