If I want my kid to eat a healthy lunch, I send lunch with her, or buy a meal ticket so she has to get what the school is serving. If it is OK for her to have a "junk food snack", I send change for it. I'm the parent and it is my money, my kid and my decision. If the majority of parents object to the vending machines, they will be removed. There is no need for the food nazis to be involved.

Yep. If you want your kid to pig-out on Big Macs and jelly beans, stuff 'em in a brown bag in the morning. The school should have more nutritious meals available if you want your kid to go through the cafeteria line.
