Soda Ban

I know many of you are concerned about tooth decay and other health issues, but its not like students are drinking soda all day long. Most students drink milk during lunch and water from the water fountain throughout the day. The vending machine room is not open in the morning, only at lunch and after school. At our school, all of the money from the soda machines pays for sports programs and the band program. If this ban goes into effect, where will the money come from to pay for these worthy programs? Before supporting this ban, I ask you to think about that.
Which sentence serves as the best introductory sentence for the above paragraph?
A) Sodas are not that bad for children.
B) All children should drink sodas sometime.
C) Sodas help children develop healthy eating habits.
D) We all want our children to be healthy and develop healthy eating habits.
