Coca-Cola Takes Health Tack

Coca-Cola says it is taking steps to help Americans realize their health goals.First,it is adding calories per serving and servings per container information on the front of all U.S. packages.To further help people manage their caloric intake,Coke is introducing 90-calorie slim cans in 2010.The company also points out that,since 2006,Coke has not sold full-calorie sparkling beverages in schools,in accordance with national school beverage guidelines.Since that time,total beverage calories in schools have decreased more than 58%,Coca-Cola reports.
All that being said,Coke goes on to admit that they know more needs to be done.Childhood obesity,and obesity generally,are major health concerns in America today.
