By Tammi Daquila
Specific Purpose: To persuade fellow parents to set an example for their children and choose to buy and consume water rather than pop. ... Did you know that every time you buy a pop, you could be funding Osama Bin Laden? ... It is our responsibility as parents to set a healthy example for our children; pop is not healthy. ... Pop is everywhere we look, pop machines, billboards, commercials; and if you and your children drink it, you are affected by it. ... Today, we will be looking at some of the horrible things that pop does to your body, the benefits of drinking water, and some options that are available for purchasing drinking water.
(Transition: By sharing with you some of the information I have found and my personal experiences, I hope to convince you to seriously curb your pop intake and increase your water intake. ...
