Taylorsville High Principal Jerry Haslam asks "It would be tough" His school earned $42000 academic during the year from its machine proceeds says Randy Ripplinger spokesman for Granite School District In fact each high school in Granite keeps 418 percent of annual vending machine sales he says That money pays to take debate teams drama troupes and singing groups for example to various events "I could say 'Hey I can't transport you anymore to these things' " Haslam says "Or I could use this money and that's what I do It helps immensely" Besides notes Olympus High Principal Paul Hansen eliminating junk food from schools would hardly stop students from getting it "They can go oft campus and eat anything" Brandy Lowe a Junior at Brighton High says she and her friends probably would buy pop at a gas station if the school purged Pepsi from vending machines "Either way we're getting fat" she says while standing in Brighton's atrium clutching a vanilla Pepsi "I don't see what the big deal Is It's our money" A main marketing strategy for The Pepsi Bottling Group is to preserve choice for consumers such as Lowe explains Kelly McAndrew spokeswoman for the Somers soft-drin- 2002-200- NY-base- t d company "We don't believe in telling parents or students what they should drink" she says Pepsi's evolving product portfolio includes healthier fruit choices such as juices sports drinks and water McAndrew says "Some attack us by saying we just want to pour sugar down people's throats That's not consistent with our actions" But some healthier choices In school vending machines may not be so healthy after all At Brighton High for example Sproul says a health department survey identified every item in the Nestle Nesquik milk machine as healthy The machine does not offer plain milk Instead it carries flavored milks — chocolate double chocolate strawberry vanilla and reduced-fa- t banana One bottle which holds a pint of flavored milk contains 460 calories 60 grams of carbohydrates and M grams (11 teaspoons) of sugar Unlike some states Utah has struggled to limit school vending machines to genuinely healthy products At least one school though is doing so Syracuse Junior High started removing junk food from its vending machines three years ago according to Principal Robin Bowden The school expelled Pepsi Coke and virtually all sodas along with many items deemed by the US Department of Agriculture as foods with minimal nutritional value Those include gummy bears and Skittles So how much money is the school giving up in the process? The principal says she doesn't know — partly because it isn't important "We don't want the decision to be money-driven- " Bowden says Meanwhile the Utah Legislature gutted a bill last week that would have banned junk vendl foods from ing machines Republican lawmakers insist the issue should be decided by schools or districts not the state And no grade-schoo- IF i e The following are nutrition facts for a sampling of beverages from vending machines at Brighton High School in Cottonwood Heights Township Amounts are based on a complete container rather than the standard serving size Containers often consist of more than one serving Product Size Pepsi Vanilla 20 Fl oz 275 Double-Chocola- te Tropicana Lemon-Lim- e 460 12 g 60g 54g (114Isp) NA 20 Fl oz 250 0 6759 65g (137 tsp) 3 20 125 0 35g 35g 0 Fl oz 115 Sobe Synergy 120 Fl oz 413 Deemed a healthier choice by health department 0 32g 0 ro Money machines School Annual revenue revenue 2002 5 $11000 $55000 None 2002 Annual "$21000 $21000 None 2002 Annual $42000 $42000 Pepsi $63000 1999 5 years $32000 $223000 Pepsi $275000 2001 10 years $31500 $590000 signed None Pepsi Pepsi Box Elder Coca-Col- High and Pepsi Olympus High Taylorsville High Alta High Brighton High Jordan High "Total Length of contract When Signing bonus Vendor a Pepsi $250000 2000 years 10 years Coca-Col- a $55000 1998 5 years $5000 $80000 West High Coca-Col- a $51000 2001 3 years $39000 $90000 Something so tiny but so Audible! - ' ow r addition to signing Smirre: bonus Over length of contract Total includes whoa dirdrieM all 7111 sii had just 'good' stuff in vending machines the revenue would be cut down by fourths No one's going to buy an apple from a vending machine" mcronin sltrib corn 40 - 2: - 600 j e ia'' analog major brand 1I 1r 11 I III LI -- I 1 I 61 $420 I IIIIDDERT 'BM!
