Well that might be good news, especially since a lot of schools have removed regular soda from then vending machines and have placed diet, water or fruit juice in them instead. But, they have not addressed the food vending machines and i can tell you that students are consuming honey bun, gummy worms, skittles (which are probably the most popular because they are small an can be sneaked during class) and other high sugar, high calorie, non-nutrient foods.
The swilling down in unlimited quantities of sugary soft drinks has got to be one of the root causes for the epidemic of teenage obesity that's been occurring over the past 70 years! Don't believe it? Just Google "images" of grade and highschool class photos from the 1940's and before. Practically all the kids back then were lean and slender! Next, head to any nearby teenage hangout and take a gander at them, fat and bovine!
