In Schools, New Rules on Snacks for Sale

The new snacks and drinks will be more nutritious ? but probably less popular, as the estimate of future income for schools from vending machines is revised downward.

The schools where I live have already taken all the machines out in
the area and WILL NOT replace them even with nutrional products
The vendors and the schools have really taken a beating monetary
wise.I guess they feel they gotta do what has to be done.........IMF

The problem gets complicated when you deal with contracts and different vendors. My old high school had a school store run my the marketing classes (sold candy, chips, non-soda bevs, etc.) which came under fire as being in competition with the cafeteria.

None of it had to do with health, however.

That said, I ate a lot more candy in high school due to the presence of that store, lol.
