There is a dirty little secret here. Someone is making big money with these vending machines. Often it is a fund under the principal's control. Not that the money is going into his pocket, but it is under his control and gives him power to spend the money pretty much at his whim. I am not against vending machines on a high school campus, but there should be some common sense involved in how many and what products they sell. In some schools the vending machines are exploitive of a captive audience, in order for some bureaucrat to accumulate a slush fund which gives him petty political power in a system in which what best serves the student is usually the last priority.

The soft drink mfg's are big supporters to state rep's so they allow COKE & PEPSI to install the vending machines...another reason for homeschooling...old saying you are what you eat and drink...no soft drinks in my house...eliminate sugar and fat from diet and watch the pounds fall off, sleep improve and look and feel younger with plenty of exercise for you and the kids...that is the ticket and you can forget about the doctors' bills and prescription drugs...

I thought I smelled money. These liberal parasites exhibit serious psychotic behavior when financial issues arise. They feed at the bottom of the food chain, as a result, a dysfunctional preoccupation with money.
