According to the Center for Science in the Public Interest 2021, consumption of sugary drinks in children has increased by almost 10%.  Soda companies have increased their marketing by targeting low-income and people of color.  In 2020, the U. S. Census Bureau reported child poverty in Kentucky was estimated to be 20.9%. Oldham Cooperative Extension Service partnered with Highpoint food pantry to teach a healthy hydration lesson.  Participants (youth 6-17) learned how much sugar is in milk, juice, and soda. The class lasted approximately 45 minutes.   The group sampled a recipe for a healthy homemade option of orange soda retrieved from the Chop Chop Winter 2021 issue.  At the end of the class, 68% of the participants said they would decrease their daily intake of soda, and 92% said they would increase their daily water consumption.
