Vending machines in schools are in, and their popularity continues to rise especially among kids who prefer to buy ready snacks from those machines that vend nothing but junk foods—sodas, juices, chips, name it, most of the choices are high in carbs or fat. As a result, kids develop poor diet that may lead to being overweight, obese or at risk for chronic health problems such as diabetes and coronary artery diseases.
According to the nationwide survey of vending machines in middle schools and high schools done by the Center of Science in the Public Interest or CSPI, 75% of the drinks and 85% of the snacks sold in 1,420 vending machines that they surveyed are high in calories and are poor of nutritional value. Among the kids who participated in the survey, 71% bought sugar-sweetened sodas or other beverages, 68% bought one to three vending machine items and 79% of 141 students bought four or more. In 2004, the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) reported that there were 9,723 snack slots in all the vending machines they surveyed but there were only 26 of them that contained fruits or vegetables.
There is no doubt that vending machines are great to have in schools since they provide a faster and a more convenient way to buy food. But if these machines just emit poor quality and unhealthy foods, they can be detrimental to everyone’s health, especially among school children. But why do schools allow such “Junk Food” vending machines to operate?
According to R. Lipman, in his article, “Vending machines in School,” about half of the nation’s school districts have contracts with soft drink companies to help fund extracurricular activities. They receive hundreds of thousands of dollars up front from large corporations just to sign an exclusive contract with a company. He added that a school in Michigan is reported to have made $50,000 from sales of vending machines in just a few months. There are also some high schools in Arizona that made $2000 a month from soft drink sales.
Certainly, vending machines can benefit the school but with the unhealthy foods that these machines presently sell, they can also make kids fat and prone to diseases. The only solution to this problem is to sell healthy foods direct from fresh vending. Fresh vending offers a variety of healthy food choices—from fresh juices, smoothies to yogurts and snacks that will surely satisfy everyone’s hunger and thirsts.
