News » Study: School vending machines much healthier

Mar. 9, 2010
School children are getting 88 percent fewer calories from drinks that are available in school vending machines. That finding is part of a new national report.

Kelly McDowell of the Wisconsin Beverage Association says kids should have better choices. She says they're replacing soda with vitamin water, juices, or other low- or no-calorie drinks.

McDowell says they're also reducing the size of the portions that are available, to cut down on calories.

Beverage companies started working with the American Heart Association and other health-conscious groups on the effort in 2006.
