Vending Machine On White House Complex Sells Unhealthy Snacks | The Daily Caller

Vending Machine On White House Complex Sells Unhealthy Snacks | The Daily Caller: Donuts for school students are out, but 590-calorie “Jumbo Honeybuns” are still very much IN at the break room at the White House press office.

Because of first lady Michelle Obama’s healthy lunch program, the USDA has banned school’s from selling “unhealthy” snacks to students during school hours. But the “Jumbo Honeybuns” sold on the White House complex make the 240+ calorie donuts now banned in schools look healthy.

Roll Call’s White House correspondent Steven Dennis pointed out the unhealthy snack in a tweet Monday, which also shows the cookies and donuts available for purchase:
