Jay Engeln said his school received about $30,000 annually from the machines that funded such programs as prom tickets for students who couldn't afford them.

OK the article got worse toward the end.

Back in my day, which was a while back, if you couldn't afford tickets to the prom, then you didn't go or either cut the neighbors' grass, babysat kids, or whatever. You didn't go out and make X% of your classmates obese so you could win a free ticket to the prom. No wonder we are raising a generation of parasites that thinks someone owes them something they can't buy.

I stayed home No Date and a waste of %$$$ anyway

But nobody can make their classmates OBESE unless they use a gun and force them to eat junk food

I went to school in the 50's we werent even allowed a coke machine. Snacks? we snacked on whatever the other kids had in their lunch bags. Never felt guilty about it because someone else snacked on mine. We didnt have a cafeteria either.Bag lunched it.

Funny but my mom used to fix ham sandwiches with mayo on them and they sat in my desk all morning unrefrigerated and none of us ever died. Peanut butter was the staff of life. No one died from it. as for zip lock bags? Hahahaha, It was waxed paper.
