More American children are more likely to be overweight today than they were forty years ago. One of the reasons for this is because kids are eating more unhealthy snacks during the day. Because vending machines provide students with access to unhealthy foods, they could be contributing to kids making bad choices when it comes to snacking.

Which overseas action most clearly illustrated the use of the "roosevelt corollary" to the monroe doctrine?
lidiya [134]
<span>The Roosevelt Corollary noted that European nations would not be allowed to interfere in the financial affairs of Latin American nations. In 1905, Roosevelt signed an Executive Order that would allow the US to collect on the debts of the Dominican Republic.
