I went to high school BEFORE they put vending machines into schools.

There was an independent convenience store on the corner, a Macs down the street.

And my draconian mother made me brown-bag my lunch.
Man I was so deprived.

While getting the machines out is ok, it actually won't change much..

They'll, at least, burn a few calories going to buy junkfood across the street.

funny guy with rant about food, not thinking for 5 seconds
and realizing if the kids can go across the street to buy their junk food,
they can do the same for a smoke as well.

I know, let's lock the kids in school for 8 hours a day.
That'll fix 'em.

No, I anticipated that response and I don't think that's a joke at all. If I were making the rules, the kids WOULD have to stay inside the building for the entire day. If they want a cigarette or grease-ball burger, they'd have to wait until
3:30pm to get it. Then their behaviours are their parents' responsibility, not the school system's.

When whatever idiot decided to put the vending machines inside schools,
they already acknowledged they don't give a shit about students,
just money.

Instead, stop thinking school board.. start thinking PARENTS.

Well, that may be true to some degree, but I think it was more of a convenience-thing than a conspiracy to separate teenagers from their money. It wasn't an issue 25 years ago when I was a highschool kid because we weren't all fat. We were active.

I NEVER had any money in my pockets when I went to high-school.

Maybe that's the problem today.

I had a vehicle and a girlfriend.....that's why I was broke most of the time. Got rid of the girlfriend and I was able to put a stereo in the truck. Even today I miss her. She was loyal, got me things I wanted , took me to wonderful places.........the girlfriend was a frigid cock tease.

Yeah, I have to walk 3 blocks to get to the Mac's, brutal in winter.

Pick up 5 Pomegranate Rockstars and head back to school.

Enjoy that while you can, because odds are someday ingesting mega doses of sugary calories like that will either give you diabetes and/or make you overweight.

[ShepherdsDog]

As long as they are active, theres no danger of becoming overweight or type 2 diabetes. Unfortunately, the dietary habits we pick up as a teenager tend to linger as we enter a more sedentary adulthood.

Ahh, the school which received all the money because the school board was in the same building

Eh, the inclusion of my ex there probably helped with the suckage. The Anderson building sucked, but the teachers I had were pretty awesome.

Guess our schools were opposite. The facilities were top notch, teachers blew though.

Oh yeah? Hmm, I think I would have preferred shitty teachers, and asbestos free facilities (they were cleaning out the ceilings and walls during my last semester there)

[Tricks]

Oh wow. Yeah my last year I left and went to a private school in Ajax, parents had enough of the shit there. After we got the head of the Math department fired they figured it was a good time to leave.
