Should vending machines be banned in schools?

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/35299173/ns/health-diet_and_nutrition/ The White House wants to ban snacks and soda machines. I support the promotion of health, but is not it time that children are taught to eat responsibly rather than banning foods to the left and right? It's getting crazy.

If it's a vending machine that contains food that are high in fat and / or sugar, then it should be banned. But if it is full of healthy things like fruit or juice, then fine. Maybe I should charge more money for food that is healthy
