Dear Mr. Laffoon & Mr. Wood,
I am writing this letter to you about the concerns and opinions of the removal of the vending machines. Many of the students, including myself, disagree with the new policy of healthy food in the vending machine. The new healthy policy is a good change but isn't exactly suitable for everyone. Some student have health issues, some are picky eaters, and some just don’t really care. This is concerning me because of the students that skip after school snacks now since the new health policy was introduced.
The new health policy is a good change for those who concern about others health and/or their own health. They enjoy the new healthy choices because that is how they prefer to eat. Healthy. They know they can go to the vending machines and not have to worry about not being able to find a snack to eat because none of the options are healthy. All in all, the policy was a good change for some. It is helping with the kids who don’t get healthy snacks or healthy food at home. They can at least have a small healthy nutritious snack at school. All though its a healthy snack, it won’t improve their health very much. Another issue is if the students don’t have money to buy snacks from the vending machines. Therefore, they won’t be getting that nutritious snack to help boost their health. Instead they could wait like an hour or so, and go home and eat a cookie or chips; unhealthy food.
The vending machine change isn't going to have much of an effect but more of a downfall for the income that the school may use from the money earned from the vending machines. If you take out the sugary sweets and replace it with healthy food, less people are going to purchase snacks from the vending machines. They won’t be pleased with the new options and will buy snacks elsewhere. With less students buying food, that means that less income is coming in, the food could go bad, and just have to go down the drain, and all the money used to purchase the food, to put into the vending machine, would all go to waste. But if you keep the sugary sweets then you will definitely have more students buying the snacks. This means the food won't go bad, you should keep a steady income, and there shouldn't be any waste of money. The students will be much happier too and that is always a good thing for everyone!
I would be very appreciative if you take this letter and possibly act upon it. I know a lot of the students would be pleased with the change back to the original vending machine choices. It may not be healthy snacks, but the students would definitely be happy! Well at least I know I would be happy!
Sincerely,
Sierra H.
