The bill requires 75% of the items in vending machines on property owned or managed by the state to meet healthy standards.
Under the measure, “any packaged food and beverage option offered in a food or beverage machine shall contain no more than:
- .5 grams of trans fat per serving
- 200 milligrams of sodium per package.”
The legislation not only mandates the carrying of healthy snack choices, but also mandates the stocking of the vending machine in a manner where healthy options are “in a position with the highest selling potential.”

Once government takes control of your healthcare they are responsible for how you live your life. Goodbye freedom.
Here go Maryland Democrats telling you what you can or can not eat. This is really sad when the voter are so ignorant. Can't wait for a 250lb fat lady on welfare destroying a vending machine because she couldn't get a Twinke.
The state legislature has ZERO authority to specify what is sold in vending machines.
NONE.
So what is this bill all about?
They have lost their minds. Without junk food the vending machines would go out of business. Fortunately, I doubt Hogan would sign such an idiotic bill!
Move to NYC sponsoring and supporting legislators...you'll love what Nanny Bloomberg and Comrade DiBlasio have created!
Leave us alone!!
