Argumentative Paragraph

Companies pulling sodas out of schools.


All this time I’ve been here in America, the one thing that catches my attention is how everybody here is hooked on soda. Back in my country, I have a cousin that was drinking too much soda than she could handle and soda is not even that popular there. It went to the point where she had a complication on her kidneys that she was forced to stop. For this reason, I strongly support the companies’ decision to pull out sodas in schools. Obesity is a big issue in America and from the perspective of an immigrant like me, one of the cause is the availability of sodas here. Schools in my country didn’t have the budget to even buy chairs for the students, let alone vending machines for us to buy sodas and make ourselves blow up like balloons. I’ve also read through soda ingredients, which normal kids here wouldn’t normally do, but I think I’m smart enough to want to know the things they put in the food that I eat. I found out that they put acid in some sodas and that they are loaded with sugar, and stuff that I didn’t have the slightest idea what they are or even how to read them. would you drink something that you had absolutely no idea what’s in it or what is it? Besides all that good stuff I just mentioned, you can also have complications in your digestive and urinary sytem if you drink too much. We students might say that soda is better than water; however, if we look more closely, it has more calories than water and does not even rehydrate half as well as water. Sodas should be pulled out of vending machines in school to stop the health problems that they cause.
