apparently the govment doesn't listen to the consumer pertaining what we want access to in this 'free' country.

education begins at home early learning constant teaching set by example.

Also, you as a parent can alert your student to begin the program via student council to have these health hazzardous products removed from campus and replaced with natural juices and spring/distilled waters.

an added incentive would be the environment.... the sludge that soda drinks produce as a by-product is muck polluting nations clean water. it should be a serious crime punishable by .... death? that's cold, but they are polluting our water and slowly murdering the populace of eath's indigenous inhabitants. soooo, unless they do better, kill them first...BOYCOTT ALL their products.

encourage reading of nutritional/dietary labeling

AND THE GOV'MENT NEEDS TO LABEL GMO PRODUCTS AS WELL.

lol it's just an idea. stand for something or fall for anything yaknow

grade school children have been consuming aspartame for a long time under white public servants designated as the'' authority'' of the land by the people.

instead of blaming the coward barack and been POLITRICAL
AND RACE-TRICAL while claiming race to be a none issue

lets look at a couple of things

barack IS THE DEEPEST COLOR OF COWARDICE, WHEN IT COMES TO DOING THE RIGHT THING .

HE HAS NO MIND OF HIS OWN
that's why HE IS surrounded BY ''ADVISERS' 9; SPEECH WRITERS AND MOST IF NOT ALL OF THEM ARE WHITE JEWISH

IF THE SO-CALLED DEFENDERS OF THE CONSTITUTION DO NOT SEE THIS AS A DIRECT THREAT TO the peace - able-ness of america THUS TAKE THE ACTION THEY OFTEN CLAIM THE SECOND GRANTED IN OTHER TO STOP TYRANNY
then the conclusion must be reached that their cries of tyranny is fallacious .

LETS LOOK AT THE HISTORY OF ASPARTAME

'' The sugar substitute industry inception occurred largely by accident in 1879 when two Johns Hopkins University scientists

who were hoping to discover a wonder drug instead found saccharine - a non-nutritive coal-tar derivative that is 300 times sweeter than sugar.

[2] By 1907, saccharine was widely used as a sweetener in canned foods, though just five years later it was banned from use as a food additive. With the onset of sugar shortages in World War I, however, saccharine was again declared safe. With that,

saccharine use increased steadily until the 1950's while the potential adverse effects of the sugar substitute maintained a low profile.[3]

From the time of its invention,saccharine and the sugar-substitute industry has been

driven by twin American desires:the desire for health and the desire for beauty. Throughout the centuries,sugar has been linked to many human ills from cavities and tooth decay,to gout,obesity and heart disease. Instead of correcting the real and imagined negative effects of sugar

consumption,however,sugar-subs titutes seem to have merely spawned more health related concerns while offering only less calories for more sweetness in the American diet.

Recently,scientists have stated that no major health problems are in fact directly associated with eating sugar. Food scientists acknowledge that sugar consumption can contribute to excess calories which in turn may fuel the problems of obesity,though the introduction of sugar-substitutes has not had a significant impact in lowering rates of obesity amongst Americans

.[4]Diabetics also must limit sugar consumption since their bodies do not properly metabolize it,but sugar has not been shown to cause the disease''
