Sugary Drinks

Sugary Drinks

What could be yummier than a cold, fizzing can of soda pop?  Would you drink it quite so quickly if the can had a label on it, warning you that the contents could lead to obesity, health problems, or even disease?  

Read the two opposing articles to determine your position on whether sugary drinks should have warning labels on them.  Write a multi-paragraph essay in which you give compelling evidence to prove your point.  Make sure you cite the articles you draw your information from.
