This program explains the facts and opinions at the heart of the growing controversy, revealing the health issues and business challenges that the soft-drink company must confront in order to survive in an increasingly fitness-oriented beverage market. Interviewing parents, students, nutrition experts, and activists about the movement to ban Coke and other sugar-heavy sodas from public schools, the program also features comments from Coke officials who insist the company can continue to dominate in the 21st century.
