No...if YOU bothered to read you'd understand that the point most of us are making is that (using the the example you cited above) soda and junk food machines being in schools has NOTHING to do with the REAL problem.
The REAL problem is that a lot of people are completely devoid of ANY personal accountability. Do junk food machines fire out a series of twinkies like a machine gun and down some fat kids gullet? NO. Does the soda machine grab people by the neck as they walk by and inject a can of soda down their throat? NO. People CHOOSE to go the vending machine, purchase the twinkies, and eat them. People CHOOSE to go the soda machine, purchase a can of soda and drink it.
The fact that the vending machines are there does not absolve people of the responsibility to not consume the products available for sale knowing that the majority of them are unhealthy.
Personal accountability....this argument begins and ends with personal accountability.
