  • Vending machines can be healthy


  • Why Not?


  • Yes

    Schools should be allowed to still have vending machines available for the kids. Depending on what time their lunch periods are, they should be able to make a quick purchase of a snack or drink from a machine aside from eating lunch. Do these vending machines need to have awful choices in them? No, they do not. They can put healthier, whole grain snacks in these machines without taking them away from schools.

  • Give the Students Choices.

    Vending machines are perfectly fine in school. Sometimes kids just need a snack or something to drink outside of their regular lunch. Does this mean the machines should be filled with unhealthy foods? No. But they should be allowed. There is nothing wrong with giving students choices about what they will consume.

  • Money for schools

    Why not? If you are concerned about unhealthy snacks, then provide healthy snacks. Vending machines make 30,000 dollars per year. Also, 3 out of 5 teachers say kids don't focus because they aren't eating enough food. So go ahead get vending machines. Even if it's not healthy kids will burn off the fat at recess.

  • Why cant we

    What if the kid found a dollar on the road, or earned 75 cents for cleaning his room? He cant buy lunch with 75 cents but he can buy a snack out of the vending machine to hold him over and get him through the day. Tons of students are hungry by the end of the day and so having vending machines can get the school more money and have happier kids.

  • I think schools should have vending machines.

    We should get them because both adults and kids would have a bunch of healthy choices. For example, if a teacher is walking down the hall and is hungry they can grab a snack from the vending machine. So that is why I think schools should have vending machines. Kids will love it.

  • No - Kids Do Not Need High Calorie Snacks


  • It's not fair.


  • It's very unhealthy.


  • People should have the right to eat what they want.


  • I vote no


  • To rasie money


  • Kids may NOT get a good education


  • Options aren't aways a good thing!


  • Vending machines are causing a lot more trouble than they're worth


  • Think of the long-term health benefits!
