My son is doing a report on Vending machines in school and he needs some opinions. he wants to know what you think of having vending machines in school. Vending Machines refering to Pop/Soda Chips All the wonderful Things. Also what do you think about healthy foods in a vending machine like Milk Pre Cut Apples Oranges Pineapple greapes etc...

Let's be pratical about this. Nutrition begins at home, if kids are going to buy/have junk food -- they will get it. Whether it's at school or not. I do think that offering healthy things during lunch time is good. After school then I think the other things are fine to offer.
The problem of unhealthy eating does not come from vending machines--it comes from parents not teaching their children limits.

I think that vending machines containing soda and candy should only be available to students after school is done. Vending machines with healthy snacks, juice and water should be available during the whole day.You have to realize schools do make a profit from the vending machines and what school can't use a little extra cash?

The vending machines with the healthy food should be available only.

I do not think that soda/chips should be available for anyone under high school age. And I think that schools should focus on trying to give kids healthy options...especially in govt. subsidized food programs. I used to work in a grade school and could not believe some of the stuff they were passing off as a "healthy lunch" for growing children!

my school didnt have soda and yeah the kids were upset but they got over it...its more important for kids to unknowingly be healthy than to give them what they want...they dont understand the effects soda and candy have
