An April 2007 investigation by the Institute of Medicine revealed that 98 percent of high schools in the United States sell "junk food" (high-calorie, high-fat, sugary snacks and/or beverages) either in vending machines or snack stores.
Many high schools are under the false belief that they are offering "healthier alternatives" because they stock Snapple rather than Coca-Cola. Really? Snapple has as much added sugar -- in the form of high fructose corn syrup -- as soda.
