MSNBC - The soft drink explosion among kids: "Another influence that parents can control is their own behavior. If parents drink soft drinks three or more times a week, their children are three times more likely to drink five or more per week than kids whose parents drink less often. Obviously, it can be hard for children to see why they should drink milk, juice, or water at meals and snacks while parents drink a soda. The availability of soft drinks at home and soft drink vending machines in schools also affect children's soft drink consumption. While the habits of children's friends can make a difference, the parent's influence is stronger, according to the research."
