Vending Machines Go on a Diet

Do the Cheetos and Snickers bars in vending machines seem to call out to you as you walk by?  If you can't resist unhealthy vending machine grub, dieting may soon get a little easier for you. Canteen Vending, one of the nation's largest operators, will soon install over 7,000 machines with "good for you" snacks.  Look for green tea, salads, nutrition bars and wasabi peas to knock out hot chocolate, burgers, candy bars & chips in 11 cities, including  NY, Chicago, Boston, San Francisco.  It's about time!

 Hamburger sales may be down at White Castle these days, but the 83-year-old burger chain is hipper and more popular than ever.  How so?    T-shirts featuring White Castle's logo and ad slogans are flying off the shelves at trendy stores like Hot Topic and Urban Outfitters.  You know what they say, "If you can't eat 'em, wear 'em."  (Ok, no one has ever actually said this, but you get the point.).
