The pop did it for me too. Bottle upon bottle....even sport drinks like Gatorade, which isn't healthy to drink just as a side drink.
Sometimes I consumed 3-4 bags of chips per day....along with everything else.
And the only thing the teachers EVER stressed were the exercise portion.
Today I see kids going to the local 7-11, and ALL they eat for lunch are chips and a bottle of pop. No wonder the percentage of obese teenagers is shooting through the roof.
