I've read about this incident on numerous sites, yet none of them mention the actual law that the school broke. They give the jist of it "turn off soda machines during lunch", but I'd like to read the actual law in place.
I believe these rules are in place due to the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act passed in '10 or around there. I think the FDA runs the show on this stuff since they pay for the school lunch program or it may be a combination of both.

Here is that bill. There's only one mention of vending machines and it doesn't mention having to cut them off during lunch periods.
So again, I am curious what the actual law pertaining to this cut-off during lunch period is.
Yup, I can see it now. Drug dealers switching to soda, Snickers and potato chips sold outside of the school gates from the trunk of their car. "Hey kid, lookin' for a little Mountain Dew and a pack of Twizzlers?"

I'm sure you can do better than work on a belief system... like "In media I believe"?

They don't need to be correct. They just want their whims being propagated, technically, the whims of the masters who are good at spinning and sending these people into a spin. Chances are, it is a Utah law.
What is so stupid about. Soda is definitely bad for you. Look at the Obesity articles as to where we are heading. Most sodas have about 35 grams of sugar.
Look at Appalachia and the kids there. Mountain Dew is supposedly the favorite soda in that area. The kids ll have rotten teeth(poor) because i think they say it has more sugar than other soda. It's not one of the required food groups so why sell it to them. Start teaching proper diets at school because most won't get it anywhere else.
But they can get it anyway! They can leave campus to get it, or they can buy it before lunch and then have it with their lunch, which I guarantee most of them do.
But, as I have said many times on numerous threads, who are you to tell people what they can and can't eat?

And they can get alcohol too. Does that mean schools should be okay with that?

I actually read that law prior to my first post as I scoured the internet looking for something that mentions cutting off vending machines. That one merely sets guidelines of what is allowed to be sold, yet no mention of cutting them off during meal periods.
It very well looks like it might be a school district ruling or contract agreement, which would be why the "law" is so hard to find.
Why are people putting up with this??? Its crazy beyond belief. I do believe we are turning into Zombies.
"But here’s where things really get nutty, so to speak. Davis High School Principal Dee Burton said that the law is disingenuous. For example, while students can’t buy soda, they can buy sugar-loaded sports drinks and even Snickers bars because they contain, you guessed it, nuts. In addition, students can buy soda earlier in the day before the machines get turned off and drink it during lunch."
