Your View On Vending Machines…?
I have 5 vending machines in my school
-3 sell food
-2 sell drinks
they both are packed full of sweets and sugary treats
however you do have two choices of water but that’s it (with 1 or 2 gatorade)
i am doing a bill for my debate class on exchanging the unhealthy snacks for healthy ones and only having one food and snack machine
what do you think?

That would be awesome!
Healthy snacks like raw almonds and dried fruit would be easy healthy additions to any vending machines.
Particularly with childhood obesity on the rise, healthy snacks should be available, if not required.

I am assuming you are in high school. I understand your point, but high schoolers are young adults and will be out in the “real world” soon enough. And out here, you are faced with a lot more than 5 vending machines worth of poor choices! The most important factor is educating students on healthy, nutritious eating habits.

I think vending machines can stay in schools because its up to the student to decide whether he/she eat unhealthy. Also if somebody actually wanted to get a snack he will get it from the store, vending machine is just an easier ans faster way to get it.

I would like to see more fresh fruit, granola bars, trail mix and such in food vending machines. I would like to see more fruit juice and water in vending machines. It’s not that vending machines are bad, it is what is put in them.

Honestly, most people would hate you. Not me personally, but don’t do it.
