Look, we tried to offer some advice on how to stay fit and not end up looking like a land monster. But since kids are so hell bent on being fat nowadays, it’s time for parents to cut off access to sugary snacks once and for all. Horizon’s OneSource program manages what schoolchildren eat at lunch, with a fully computerized system that educators and lunch ladies alike can use to give kids healthy foods.
The Healthy Vending systems let parents get even more hands-on with nutrition, by letting them use a computer to log onto their child’s account to see what kind of vending machine snacks they’ve purchased and how many. So if little Johnny thinks he’s getting away with an extra Twinkie or HoHo, he’s in for a surprise.
Or you could just teach your kids some discipline, I suppose.

Sad, but true. No kid, even momma’s boy, is going to choose carrot sticks over a Snickers if given the option with no supervision. Although unfortunately necessary, it’s a great idea.

I’ll bet that the skinniest kid in school racks up the most fattening snacks. Trading time on the playground!

Can they put one of these vending machines in my office? Maybe then I could keep myself from those tempting afternoon cookies… Even a gal in her twenties doesn’t want to hear a snack attack from Mom…

I think this is relly cool and kinda bad because parents are going to see what you eat
