Opinion: OP-ED On vending machines in school.

Are vending machines alright in school or are they being abused?

The vending machines are a great resource for the school. The vending machines at Carter High School are accessible to everyone in the school, Even visitors can use them if they please. No, not everyone has to use them, but they are available to your services. Carter High School is a lucky school to have vending machines because some kids do not eat the school lunch that is provided so they tend to get some things out of the vending machines and snack on that. Vending machines didn’t exist in the schools up until the 1950’s. While Some people may not think they are good because some may think they are only eating junk foods. However the federal regulations have gotten rid of junk foods in school vending machines and only are allowed to put in things that have calorie, fat, sugar, and sodium limits to them.They are very useful for when someone doesn’t eat lunch or breakfast so it keeps them going. All things range from a dollar to a dollar and fifty cents. Some profits from the vending machines go to the school so that the school also gets some money out of the students or visitors money they spend on them. Some of the snacks from the vending machine ranges from fruit snacks, water, soda or even beef jerky and chips. Vending machines are useful in schools so kids can find something to eat.
