There has been a study program held in 2000 which the survey
answered that there were 43% of schools at elementary level, 89.4%
middle or junior high, and 98.2% of senior high schools which
had vending machines or a store, snack
bar or canteen which students could buy foods or beverages.
The foods or beverages listed above are regarded as "competitive
foods" these in the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)
are foods served outside of meals either school breakfast, lunch
or school snack programs.
In 2004 Arkansas the state in the USA were the only school at
that date which passed a law banning vending
machines in the elementary schools. Not just state's, there
have been some cities and local schools districts have taken the
lead and put in place policies to ban or replace certain foods
and beverages.
In the UK schools have been making head way at removing certain
machines and encouraging the use of
health food options to avoid the usual snack machines. In the
UK there have been many talks and details regarding the school
vending machines health matter. Recently over the last few
years there has been a demand for "No
