If this really isn't possible on a schoolwide basis, then at the very least those kids who are famine sensitive (are overweight, gain weight easily, have overweight parents) must be allowed to eat when they need to between classes. Other kids will understand because they'll learn in health class why this is so important. | | Good foods are lower-fat meal-type foods and lousy foods are typically found in vending machines. They're also called snacks. Snack foods are entirely unnecessary and usually quite expensive. No one needs them. Kids do well eating sandwiches, cereal, fruit, breads, pizza and leftovers for snacks, between major mealtimes.
Make only good-quality Real Foods available to your kids.
Teach your kids from early on that dieting and trying to eat less than they want is unhealthy and leads to weight and appetite problems and eating disorders. Tell them that dieting is stupid. |
Samuel S. Epstein, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  In November, 1977, the USDA, under an amendment to the Child Nutrition Act, regained the authority it had lost in 1972 to regulate what food items can be sold in vending machines on a la carte lunch lines or at snack stands at schools. USDA Secretary Bergland subsequently initiated action to restrict "competitive (junk) foods" in schools. However, under threats of legal action from "junk" food industries, including Hershey Candy Company, the USDA announced in December, 1978, that it would postpone such action for at least a further year in order to elicit public comments on the proposal. |

See book keywords and concepts |  A sign posted near the junk food vending machines in a major city zoo warns: "Do not feed this food to the animals or they may get sick and die." Think about it. The food that might kill a 400 pound ape is okay for a 40 pound child who is biologically very similar? If our gardens, field crops, pets, exotic zoo creatures and every other form of life on earth are all heavily dependent on their diet for health, then what makes us think that humans have transcended this dependence? FOOD
Food is a rich tapestry of various chemicals. |

See book keywords and concepts |  With all the other noises clamoring for attention, they can't hear another voice, asking them to avoid the vending machines, asking them to eat salad instead of a McDonald's hamburger, asking them to drink water instead of Pepsi. Since their eating habits are often driven by the culture, it will take time to introduce new foods into their routine and to remove offending foods.
Go at it slowly and discuss your plan with your teenager to enlist as much cooperation as possible. Use the following srep-by-step guide to establishing good eating habits in your teenager. | | One reason food service personnel wrested control of the vending machines was ostensibly to improve nutrition; they apparently believed that their school principals weren't stocking enough healthy foods in the machines and wanted to do better, so to speak.
Maybe that is the motivation of some, but according to the industry, money still talks; nutrition walks. They know the students want to drink soft drinks. They would, if given the choice, eat fast foods rather than healthy foods, and why not let the schools benefit from the dollars to be gleaned from rich manufacturing companies? |

See book keywords and concepts |  Meanwhile, more than 5,000 schools in the United States today have contracts with fast-food companies and junk-food manufacturers to provide food for their cafeterias and/or vending machines.' Coca-Cola and other soft drink companies are giving millions of dollars to cash-strapped school districts in return for exclusive rights to sell their products in schools. In one such deal, a school district in Colorado actually requires teachers to push Coca-Cola consumption in classrooms whenever sales fall below contractual obligations. |
Marion Nestle
See book keywords and concepts |  In 1999, for example, the wholesale cost of a case was $4.99—half the retail price charged by my local Manhattan convenience store, but still leaving $19.01 to cover supply, labor, overhead, and funds donated to the school district. Even taking the large initial lump-sum payments and sales taxes into consideration, soft drink companies were unlikely to lose money on those deals. |
