Apparently, the big stink in New York about the legal size of sodas that may be sold had some sort of impact. The soda companies recently announced that they’ll be working to reduce the amount of calories in their beverages by 20 percent. They also said they’ll be working at marketing smaller sized drinks and diet drinks as well as pushing their bottled water more. All these changes are set to a “ten year plan”, so don’t expect too much.
Will this help the US get back into shape? Personally, I doubt a 20-percent reduction is going to do much when people are sucking down a 60-ounce Coke every day. Still, it’s nice to see them doing something. Or at least something to help their PR.
