The following are the key messages about our position on childhood obesity and the Balance for Life Campaign:

NAMA recently conducted a study that evaluated more than a million student purchases from vending machines at schools. The survey evaluated 2,084 school vending machines and concluded that students actually purchased far less than one candy bar or salted snack item per student per week. That’s right - less than one candy bar or snack per student per week. Obviously, one candy bar or snack per student per week is not the cause behind this complex problem.
