Obesity in young adults. - Our Public Schools I recently did some contract work for our local school district. All the work was to take place in local high schools. I noticed something that I don't remember from my high school days. There was a drink vending machine and snack vending machine, loaded with beetus stuff, in every damn hallway. A huge percentage of the kids were also very fat. It was quite sad. When I was in high school, the campus had ONE vending machine, near the gym, that was usually only plugged in during games. Also, you weren't allowed to eat or drink during classes. Nobody died of thirst or hunger. What the fuck is going on with society?
