Why should a school have a vending machine?
Some people might not have breakfast, so when they are hungry they can eat and drink.
What do you think about vending machines in school?
Well, it depends on what is in the vending machine and what type of vending machine it is. See, now if its a vending machine with just drinks and there is only such stuff as soda then its okay, but its also okay if there is another one with just healthier drinks such as milk, milkshakes, water, or juice. Some people may prefer all of that unhealthy stuff but there is nothing wrong with that because others would rather prefer stuff that's good for them and provides lots of nutrition. Now if its a vending machine with just food then once again with the drinks, its okay to have a copuple of chips once in a while but it wouldn't hurt to put something with lots of nutrients in there once in a while. So to make a long story short, having vending machines in schools could be a good thing because of the variety but then again you have to think about the money. Getting one for a school can be good but then again that money that's being spent on the vending machines could be spent on something better for your school. So basically there are a lot of different answers and reasons on thinking about cending machines in schools, personally, i think that its more of an opionated question on what you think.

Adding Health Food to a Vending Machine?
Vending machines are frequently found at the work place and in many public schools. However, new federal regulations have been put into place that will mandate the nutritional value of foods placed within a vending machine that is in a publicly funded school. Many vending machine operators are worried that new regulations will cut into their already small profit margins.Market research has shown that sales of healthy foods are sluggish at best when compared to vending machines that sell snacks like candy, potato chips, and soft drinks. However, in order to keep a foothold in the lucrative school vending machine market, many vending machine operators are choosing to adapt rather than be left behind.One industry trade organization called National Automatic Merchandising Association (NAMA)is trying to get its vendors to comply with a set of nutritional guidelines. Any item that meets these guidelines will receive a special certification that can be placed on its labeling to indicate that it is indeed a healthy choice. NAMA calls this initiative Fit Pick and has worked with industry insiders, nutritionists, and physicians to come up with the guidelines. According to the Fit Pick program, qualifying food items would have to pass the 35-10-35 test. This new standard requires that all foods bearing the healthy label should have no more than 35% calories from fat, 10% of those calories from saturated far, and less than 35% of the item’s total weight in sugar. Their goal is to provide healthy alternatives in school vending machines to combat childhood obesity, which is an increasing problem that is plaguing today’s youths. Some insiders have called for even more stringent standards that would place restrictions on a food item’s calorie content and sodium levels.Industry insiders also suggest that owners of a vending machine try to add fresh options like fruits and vegetables. They also suggest that owners of vending machines that sell soft drinks should switch to vending low-sugar fruit drinks and water in order to comply with federal regulations.Although the initial changes may cause a drop in sales, profits are sure to pick up once children become acclimated to the new vending machine offerings.

Do high schools make money of vending machine business?
Most high schools with vending machines do make money off of proceeds from vending machines on their campuses. However, laws passed in many states have banned vending machines in schools, so obviously high schools in those states no longer make money off of their vending machines or may only be able to have vending machines operating during non-school hours.
