Vending Machines For Kids


Did you know that it took a funded study to show that kids who chronically eat from their school vending machines have poorer eating habits? Stop the presses! These machines should all be removed from schools because I would doubt that ANY type of vending machine snacks would ever be deemed healthier than real food. They should do a study where they leave the food in there and hide it for twenty years and then come back and see if it is still the same. You know, like a time capsule of overprocessed, chemically-laden poison that never degrades.
My favorite line in the articles was this:


"I don't want to project the message that vending machines are bad," said Kakarala, a clinical lecturer at the University of Michigan Medical School.


Huh? Way to make a stand, dude.
