Nutritionally Dense
I was leafing through a magazine from the library this weekend and one of the articles was about parents making a difference in their kids’ schools. Oo, I thought that sounded great, so I started reading…One of the examples was about a group of parents who decided that they didn’t want junk food in the vending machines anymore. Great Idea, thought I. Then they explained how they were able to get it changed from having candy bars to having potato chips and fruit snacks….???!!!??? HUH?? Since when are potato chips and fruit snacks healthy? Sounds like somebody’s parents need to go back to school!

Hey what do you mean they aren't healthy? I think most fruit snacks have 2% fruit juice in them. And potato chips are made from potatoes. Some people are just too difficult to please. (hee hee)
They should have just switched to dark chocolate -- it's loaded with anti-oxidants.
That is so disappointing, at least candy bars have nuts in them? I really don't think there is a healthier alternative to candy machines. I think you can go slightly healthier but with all the Sugar and High fructose corn syrup that is in just about EVERYTHING these days, unless they did a fresh fruit and veggie cart they would have to make it a health food vending machine and fill it full of food like fruit leather and whole grain crackers.
Beautiful! That's my kind of logic...just don't explain that to my kids.
