-Caveat Lector-
So in Wichita, Kansas they note a problem - but neglect to mention who
is reaping the profits from the proceeds from these vending machines?
This is a kick back virtually, and all monies should go into a general
fund - for instance police departments used to pocket money from vending
machines in our area until State Examiner ruled now way - even though it
went to buy things they wanted or thought they needed - the money
belongs to the taxpayers and not to the police or to the schools.....
Pepsi has kickback to the schools and Pepsi has 120 calories a can,
unless your kids drink the aspartame stuff which they say is deadly, and
you do not lose weight or control weight with that stuff either. It
used to be the phoney sweetners were meant for people who could ot use
sugar - who had diabetes and I imagine diabetes will be on he rise if
the kids continue to eat this slop in schools so someone makes a fast
buck.
Twinkies, potatoe chips, pepsi - what is wrong with an apple, an orange,
or bananas - eat one of those a day and you will not need coal tar
product vitamins. Or good juices.
Articles like the followiong make me sick, but at least thanks to the
web for there has been much on his as of late, people might wake up to
he fact we are killing our children andmaking hyper - and that includes
this hypoglycemia over active kid stuff where they now want to drug them
rather than feed good diet.....sweet covered cereal - turning in to real
cereal killers?
So much for that.....see Wichita grow fat and unhappy......

BUT SCHOOLS MAY PLAY ANOTHER role in the building of the
bulge. You can find vending machines in the hallways of most of
Wichita's middle and high schools these days. "We can by pop, or candy
or chips or anything we want without getting in trouble," said student,
Eric Delgado.
But some believe the vending machines are contributing to
our children's' poor eating habits and are an unhealthy temptation for
students. "If you're really hungry, and you have the money to come here,
you'll come here no matter what," said student, Kennedy Turner.
Even school officials agree that a vending machine menu is
not the best choice. "It isn't the healthiest stuff in the world, that's
for sure," said Robinson Middle School principal, Kathy Busch.
But Bush says not all kids are making unhealthy choices. She
also says the public schools do a good job providing healthy
alternatives. "We got a great salad bar here, we provide them with a
good breakfast."
Even more encouraging news is a national report that says
cafeteria lunches are leaner and more nutritious than they use to be. It
says schools have lowered the overall fat content of meals from 38
percent of calories to 34 percent of calories, exceeding the new
standards set by the USDA.
Sharon Carlson "We have worked diligently to get the menu
in line with the national standards," said school nutritionist, Sharon
Carlson. "The recommendation is 30 percent and we are below that."
While that's good news, some say having vending machine
menus in the schools might be defeating the purpose. "If they eat only
the items from the machines, and not all the other items, yes, then it
could be," said Carlson.
The principal at Robinson Middle School says they don't
hesitate to turn the vending machines off if kids abuse them. The
district nutritionist adds that schools are often asked not to have the
machines on during lunch periods.
