WASHINGTON, D.C. – The school teachers lounge is a respite from more than just bratty kids. 

It’s a safe zone from the long arm of Michelle Obama’s food police.

Students are already revolting against the newly-implemented school snack regulations that affect what is sold in vending machines.

They will probably be equally upset to learn the vending machine just across the hall – in the teachers lounge – is exempt from the regulations.

.....Actionforhealthykids.org provides more details:

The nutrition guidelines cover all foods and beverages SOLD on the school campus in student areas. This includes vending machines, school stores, snack shops, coffee carts, and a la carte lines – basically anything sold outside of the school lunch and breakfast programs. Fundraisers that take place throughout the school day are also part of the rule. Teachers’ lounges are exempt from the regulations.
