New state regulations now require sugar free or low sugar drinks in the vending machines, according to Mr. Bohnet. Due to this new regulation, there is now no vending machine that includes soda, or sweet teas due to their high sugar content. The only drink options are now water, flavored water, organic soymilk, cranberry juice, and Fruit Wave H2O.

Several students at Osceola are upset by this new change. Taylor Ballard, 9th grade, said “I used to be really excited to have Dr. Pepper for lunch; it’s my favorite drink, now there isn’t anything but water.” Meg Fister, 9th grade, said “I hate that the only drinks are water, flavored water, and milk; I’ll just have to bring my own drinks from now on.”
