Would that be “chips” on shoulders?
Will it include a disclaimer and a list all the toxic ingredients that are bad for your health?
The intent, obviously, is to regulate unapproved products out of existence.
People who push the button for chips or chocolate would not get a salad instead if they could read the nutrition labels. The is a wasteful decision that will cost consumers money, as those chips go from $1.50 to $1.75 to cover the new signs, and it will do no good at all.
I am thinking that if you are so desperate for a snack that you will seek out a vending machine then you are past caring what its’ calorie count is. But, that doesn’t matter to our self-proclaimed overlords.
Or you might consume the most calorie-laden item on there, just to flip a big ol’ F.U. to Barry Obama.

There has been growth in the fruit puree in a single serve pouch, freeze dried fruits and vegetables as snacks and solid fruit rollups.
That may be all that’s allowed in an Obama era vending machine.

Reality check:
Calorie counts will cause most consumers to go for the HIGHER calorie items, to get their money’s worth.
