There's been a big shift in how many school districts take money from soda companies and ban junk food from vending machines, federal health officials say. A government survey found 44% of school districts banned junk food from vending machines last year, up from 30% in 2006. It also found drops in how many districts took a cut of soft drink sales (down to 69% in 2012 from 82% in 2006), received donations from soda companies, or allowed soda company advertising.
The findings come from a Center for Disease Control survey of more than 800 U.S. school districts.
