Colorado Senate Bill 04-103, titled "School Vending Machines And Nutrition", is intended to help school children eat healthier. While the intent may be good, the law is anti-fat and pro-carbs. The bill punishes schools for having vending machine food that is over 35% fat by calorie (or more than 10% saturated fat), and allows an electyolyte replacement beverage that contains forty-two grams or fewer of additional sweetener per twenty-ounce serving. So cheese is not allowed but Gatorade is. Also allowed are foods with up to 35% of their weight in sugar!

The whole bill is at the site listed above. It has passed the initial vote (6 to 1) and is progressing. I urge all Colorado citizens to contact their state senator and representive and let them know that this bill is totally misguided and must be stopped.
