Hairballs to Schools Bringing in Flavored-Milk Vending Machines. Some schools around the country are replacing their soda machines with machines that dispense artery-clogging cow's milk concoctions. Some drinks have a whopping 460 calories, 16 grams of fat, 60 mg of cholesterol, and 58 grams of sugar per bottle. Compared to that, even soda looks good: An equal amount of soda has fewer than half the calories, no fat, no cholesterol, and less sugar. Send tsk-tsks to Richard P. Mills, Commissioner, State Education Department, 89 Washington Ave., Albany, NY 12234.
