Pathologically Logical

Why do most vending machines only sell chips, chocolate bars, and pop? What would be wrong with selling peanuts, almonds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, fruit bars (like Zippy Fruit or Fruit To Go – something that is 100% fruit), Nurtigrain bars, dried berries, and low fat milk in tetra packs? They aren’t as healthy as fresh fruit or dry roasted peanuts in their shells, but they are better than chips and chocolate bars. Why are healthier choices not more readily available? I have an hour and a half left at work and I would like a little snack but I really don’t want chips or chocolate bars. So I am sitting here dreaming of the chicken breast I am going to cook up with some linguine and homemade pasta sauce for supper tonight.
