Yeah, That'll Work: The color coded food warning system is coming to vending machines:

The snacks were scored on a point basis. The system gives a point to foods rich in calcium, protein, fiber, iron and vitamins A and E while taking away points from those high in sugars, fats and calories.

    A poster explaining the ratings will be placed on the outside of each machine.

    At the vending-machine-association press conference yesterday, green stickers were placed on items such as pretzels, Nutri-Grain cereal bars and Go-Gurt yogurt, advising consumers to frequently choose those items.

    Other products like Wheat Thins, Starburst Fruit Chews and SnackWell's cookies were labeled yellow, suggesting to choose occasionally.

    Austin crackers, Snickers, chocolate chip cookies and Doritos chips were labeled red, which advises to eat those products rarely.
