Vending machines in schools are a convenient alternative for students to get snacks, chocolate bars, and water all through the school day. Just like adults, children are required to drink six to eight glasses of water to maintain water balance. Vending machines in school premises are very helpful for students as they provide a wide choice of snacks and healthier drinks. They are also helpful when the main counter service is crowded. Vending machines in schools offering drinks, fresh juices, water, and flavored milk can also improve the bank balance of the school, if properly managed.
Vending machines in schools selling yoghurts, muffins, scones, and sandwiches offer a quick lunch for students who wish to have something hot. They also ease the pressure on the school dining hall.
Most schools prefer to keep vending machines. Today, many schools try to remove vending machines to avoid problems associated with general health, obesity, and tooth decay. Removing the vending machine is not the only option available. These problems can be minimized by including food items containing more nutritional value including milk drinks, bottled water, cereal bars, lower fat crisps, and crackers.
When installing vending machines in schools, several factors must be considered. Placing the vending machines in prominent locations is of paramount importance.
A number of schools in the United States have enacted laws to restrict the sale of foods and drinks in the elementary, middle/junior and high schools. Some states have enacted laws to replace selling of carbonated beverages with milk, juice, and water.
