   In the past, Denver Public Schools has been a poster boy for lack of

leadership in sound nutrition policies. With the revamping of its nutrition

policies proposed this past Friday, DPS could regain its rightful place as a

national leader on the issue. New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia,

Boston, Seattle, Las Vegas, Scranton, Buffalo and many more recently have gone

soda-free. Denver students deserve no less.
