take the Michelle Obama "Get Fit" laws out of effect relating to the schools vending selections / ads pertaining to food

Created by W.E. on August 19, 2014

It's come to my attention recently, as the school year has started, that the vending choices have become...limited to say the least.

I know that I may just sound like an angry student who wants their sugary pop-tarts back, but that's not it. When Obama was elected into office, when he said he would focus on education, I didn't think he (or his wife for that matter) meant by limiting what I as a citizen can purchase with my money. I thought he would put more focus towards the...education part of it.

I get that obesity is a problem, but limiting what we eat at school isn't going to help, especially on a high school level since most of us can leave campus and go eat junk food. That's are right as Americans, to choose what we eat, when we want to.
