Soda sales are slipping (but the average american still drinks more than a can a day)

markedly since the early 2000s.

“Over the course of
2011, soda saw its sales slip by a full percent, and 1.5% if you don’t include
energy drinks. But that’s not to say that Big Soda is underwater–it’s still a
billion dollar industry, and energy drinks are helping to keep it
afloat–however, it has shown a marked decline since the mid-2000s, when
consumers started to turn their attention to healthier (or healthier-seeming)
alternatives, like water and flavored waters, and bottle teas.
Per capita, Americans
are consuming the lowest number of carbonated beverages in 25 years, which is
great news for our hearts, brains, livers, and yes, waists. That said, the
average American still consumes about 714 eight-ounce servings (or about 476 cans)
of soda per year–which is well over a can a day. of either regular or diet
sodas, which can actually lead to weight gain, bloating, and, you know, heart
attacks. Which is a lot. That’s a lot of soda.”

Kids who play sports eat more junk food : Study
• DEARDORFF, Julie. Kids who play sports
eat more junk food: Study, Chicago Tribune, March 20th
2012.
Abstract:
This article highlights the results of a study
showing that the sport is almost synonymous with junk food.
Quotation:
“We parents like to
believe that signing the kids up for soccer, hockey and other sports can keep
them lean and fit.
But there’s a surprising
lack of evidence showing that sports participation prevents obesity in
children, according to a recent review of the existing research. In fact, kids
who play sports are more likely to eat fast food, drink soda and consume more
total calories overall, according to the article published in Current Sports
Medicine Reports, a journal of the American College of Sports Medicine.”

Big food : Health, Culture and the evolution of eating
• Big food:
Health, Culture and the evolution of eating. Peabody.Yale.Edu.
Abstract:
For two days, the Yale Rudd Center website is
promoting an exhibition named "Big food". It aims to show the
evolution of feeding behavior in relation to the evolution of society. It runs
from February 11 to December 2, 2012 at Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History.
Quotation:
“Food is fundamental
to life. Yet, our eating habits have become incredibly complex, involving many
aspects of daily life far beyond addressing simple nutritional needs. The
increased consumption of unhealthy food and sedentary lifestyles mean excess
weight and obesity now surpass under-nourishment as the world's leading food
and nutrition problem. Big Food begins
with a startling visual of the amount of food the average American eats and
finishes with a challenge for visitors to reflect on their role in personal and
community health and the sustainability of our food system. In between it examines
behavioral choice in nutrition and exercise as well as the influence of social,
environmental, and cultural settings. Using an engaging multi-media and
family-friendly approach, visitors will investigate our origins as
hunter-gatherers; explore societal pressures such as the progressive growth of
portion sizes; tackle media influences on food preferences; and consider
serious health consequences that have increased the burden of chronic diseases,
including diabetes and heart disease.”

Abstract: this article
presents history of French cuisine, and the best French restaurant in San
Francisco.
Quotation: "French food may
be many things: elegant, rustic, complex, and rich; but the one thing that
always holds true is that it is borne of an incomparable attention to detail
and speaks to the pride the French take in the cuisine’s peerless reputation. For
the French, food is a way of life.
What we know as traditional
French food, or haute cuisine, dates back to the 17th century when La Varenne
published what is widely accepted as the first true French cookbook. In the
late 19th century, Georges Auguste Escoffier took on the task of
modernizing and organizing what would become the national cuisine of France
through separating cooking stations and publishing a series of articles in

courses on individual plates). [...]"
