This has become a source of controversy in many school districts around the

had all these same clubs and sporting events and didn't have ANY vending
machines in school. So how did they do it then, and why can't they do it now=
?

And on another related note, since evolution is legally taught in schools,
why can't it also be taught what Paleo people (probably) ate, pointing out
that we have the same genes as our ancestors had 100,000 years ago? Schools
are required to teach the Government food pyramid, yet the folly of it
becomes obvious once it is realized that it is a man-made fabrication not
based on our genetic inheritance.
