Reflection 8

Vending machines. As a future health teacher, and with a large majority of the U.S. being over weight, why do we put the foods we put in vending machines. They are loaded with candy, chips, and chocolate. In order to solve the problems we have with obesity and the health problems it causes, we need to look at the little things like vending machines. I know some schools are making an effort in this area, but other are lacking. If we make a statement and create healthy vending machines this will help send a message to the youth about what kind of eating choices they should be making. This would help with the problems we are having with obesity and cut down other health related issues that come with bad food choices.
