Student Access to Junk Food at Schools

An August 1, 2005 article from USA Today discusses the ease with which students can obtain junk food at American schools. While healthy options are often also available, top sellers are typically high in sugar and fat. The article indicates that over 90% of high schools have vending machines that are accessible to students, and those vending machines usually include sugar-based sodas, chips, and candy bars.
