Why does the public building policy only apply to vending machines?
Vending machines operate 24 hours a day, and are not staffed making it difficult for the public/employees to request healthier choices personally. There is a possibility that the public building policy will expand to other food services in the future and some health authorities in BC are considering doing this. In the interim, we encourage members of the public and employees to approach the food services in their public buildings to increase the number and variety of healthy options and to decrease less healthy options.
