Margo G. Wootan, the center’s director of nutrition policy, called healthy vending machines “one of the hottest national trends no one has heard of.”
-That’s because no one is eating that crap.
“”People talk about the nanny state gone amok, but they don’t seem to mind when it’s the food industry that is dictating food policy by offering only big portions and junky options in vending machines,” Wootan said.”
-Pay attention, dim bulb. Nobody in the vending machine business is compelling me to buy their product, nor do they have a monopoly on my food options. the Nanny State, however, has both the power to compel (if unjustly) and punish for not compelling.
BTW, the vending machines at my job have a few of those “healthy options” in them. Nobody buys them, and they usually get pulled by the refill guy after a month or two.

Looks about like I thought she would. If that’s her smile, I’d hate to see her frown!
