When I was in high school, there were no soda vending machines available to students. And pretty much most kids were thin. I think its completely ridiculous to allow soft-drink vending machines in schools. The only reason schools allow it is because of the revenue that the school gets from these machines, but recent research is showing just how toxic sugar/HFCS can be when taken in the quantities that children do, without the benefit of fats/fiber and the other things that should otherwise be in food.
