The irony fairy has hit work this week in the form of vending machines.

There is a brand new vending machine which talks about HEALTHY FOODS and FIGHTING OBESITY! and PROCEEDS GOING TO HELP FIGHT IT and EATING RIGHT and there's even a little TV screen that has adverts for HEALTHY FOODS like THINGS.

What is actually in the vending machine?

SODA! POWER WATER! MONSTER DRINKS! MORE SODA! SOME WATER! MORE SODA!

... so um. Yeah.

They're fighting obesity with HFCS. What could possibly go wrong?

There's a loaded question if I ever heard one.

They have sodas in a vending machine that's supposed to fight against obesity?

Head, meet wall.

Yes, but is it *diet* soda?

I went to Paris when I was a kid, and found a vending machine that sold packets of croissants. But I suppose that sort of thing would be old hat to you Americans.

They want you to eat right. No one said anything about drinking right.

Considering that it sounds like they're taking their marketing tactics from the Simpsons, I am not at all surprised....
