Healthy Vending

I remember when I was in high school, there were vending machines outside of the cafeteria. They held sodas (diet and regular) and candy. That was almost twenty years ago. I am still wondering how I got so old, but that's another post! Anyway, when I registered my kids for Junior High a couple of weeks ago, I was surprised to find 1800Vending machines in their school, outside their cafeteria. There was a big difference, though, because these machines only held juices and healthy snacks. I think this is awesome, especially for kids like my Ryan. He has ADHD, and takes medication twice a day for it. He would be buying candy every day if he had that option, and that would not help his hyperactivity. I am glad he has healthy options.

We were talking about this the other day, because Kasi has been buying juices. She said she couldn't wait to get to the high school, because their 1800Vending Org machines had soda. I asked her why the older kids had soda in theirs, and they only had juice, and she said the older kids only have diet soda in the machines. I don't know how I feel about the kids being offered soda that is loaded with chemicals (before you leave comments about the chemical remark, remember that I drink diet soda from morning til night...I just don't think developing kids should drink it). I do, however, think whoever owns these machines is making a fortune. I wish it was me.
