hawksfan9325 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 http://rt.com/usa/usda-ban-junk-food-schools-048/ Glad I don't have any school accounts at the moment. Are companies going to follow suit?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orsd Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Healthy food they have in schools is really not that healthy Example: juice with practically no vitamins and that has more sugar than coke per ounce Or how about reduced fat Doritos that only save 20 calories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Organic has 0 shelf life. It's really a changing industry. I think companies need to focus on making better products, that taste good, and have some nutritional value. At this stage in the game, it's almost going to be illegal to sell stuff that is junk anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orsd Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 There's companies that are doing healthy vending A lot of the baked chip have longer life Some are actually not bad tasting Gatorade life water water sparking water juicoe are all healthy alternatives But I still prefer traditional junk food Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mission vending Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Did you guys see they banned bottled water in San francisco Considering it happened in California I'm not really surprised any state that would let moondog live there is likely to do weird things like that.......

AngryChris Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Considering it happened in California I'm not really surprised any state that would let moondog live there is likely to do weird things like that....... This is a very relative point. I wonder how long it's going to be before they stop letting us drive more than 20 miles/day, or they start charging us a tax for paying our taxes. Then they will need to install a new regulatory body to cover the taxes that are paid to those who pay their taxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allen watson Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 We got hit with this stuff a few years ago. My school accounts are just cold drinks and very little variety. No snack machines for the students. Gatorade is listed as an "electrolyte replacement" drink and can be sold here. Vistar has Gatorade in the 11.5 oz aluminum cans, so I can really fill-up a machine. I do sell Snapple (cans) and lots of water. All in all, it's not so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shhhh ! They don't know I'm here - too busy raising taxes and scaring off all the major employers so I'm just riding under the radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allen watson Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 The cool part about having a snack machine in the teachers lounge is watching the kids sneak in and buy as much stuff as they possibly can before they get caught. One time a couple of kids had a note from their teacher that had a long list of snacks for the teacher. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
