Not ideal but there are options that are relatively healthy. We can't expect kids to be "educated" or make "smart choices" - they're kids! This garbage shouldn't be put in front of them as an option, period.

It's simply to easy for kids and adults to just "get something" on the go. But unfortunately a lot of people do not even bother to check the "nutrition facts" on the back of the label. Their is truly harmful and sort of "dead weight" in these vending machines. Vending machines are not just a problem, I really think that they are a lifestyle issue.
