• Ensure that onsite vending machines sell only beverages with no more than 25 calories per 8-ounce serving or allow only the bottom two slots for higher-calorie drinks.

• Limit sales of sugar-sweetened beverages in cafeterias and other places where food is available.Consider selling low-calorie beverages (those with no more than 25 calories per 8-ounce serving) at a lower price than high-calorie beverages.

• Move water, seltzer, fat-free and low-fat milk and other low-calorie beverages to eye level in areas where drinks are for sale.

• Encourage water consumption; make sure that cold tap water is readily available.
