As long as the public school system serve crap to the kids, like over-sweet chocolate milk, burgers and fries, or a slice of pepperoni pizza, and then places vending machines in the most populated parts of the school halls.  Most kids do not know better, and need much more guidance than that. 

This is from my real experience: when I was in high school, there were vending machines right outside the cafeteria.  In the mornings when I didn't eat enough for breakfast, I usually got a bar of Twix or Kitkat or Snickers, but then felt awful as the sugar wore out 2 hours later.  Black kids loved eating bags of cheetos or other stuff loaded with hydrogenated oils and artificial cheese flavors, etc - instead of eating anything from the cafeteria. 

And I'm hearing about schools continuing to sell junk like this even to elementary grade kids.  My sons talked about buying ice cream pops, but they never bought coke or anything like that.  My kids usually know better, but sometimes they would drink several cups of soda in a row if I let them.  Most other kids really do NOT know better, trust me, man.  They're kids, after all, for heck's sake.
