Monday, February 4, 3:52 PM ETThe USDA is out with 160 pages of proposed new regulations which will attempt to guide schools into offering fewer sugary snacks on their campuses. Industry watchers think that a good portion of the nation's schools have already enacted at least some of the suggested nutritional guidelines including kicking out soda (KO, PEP, DPS) from vending machines.

Good point. None of the schools I attended up until college had ANY vending machines. You got what was on the school menu (or brought a lunch from home), and you drank water throughout the day.
I always liked school lunches, and would usually get two. ;)
I did not have Coke when I was going to school but the food sucked anyways. Full of salt and other preservatives. Hot dogs every other day. My kids take a lunch because hot lunch is a travesty of the GI tract. That hot lunch comes from the government.
Why not give requirements to companies that want to sell their food on campus so they can make it to order?
Telling food companies what they are doing wrong is easy. Tell them what they have to do to be right. That might only take 5 people in government every year making policy not entire departments.
