If you wanted a bag of Doritos from one of Brad Appelhans' experimental vending machines, you'd have to wait. The associate professor of preventative medicine at Rush University Medical Center designed a device that fits inside of vending machines and waits 25 seconds before releasing the typical processed snacks. But healthier fare — like peanuts or popcorn — drops instantly.

Think of it as a sort of "time tax." The idea is that every second you spend waiting for a snack will make you want it less, similar to how a tax on sugary drinks might get you to buy less soda, Appelhans says.

The new machines will be beat all to hell and just generally vandalized to death prior to the end of the study, and rightfully so.

More like Brad needs to be beat all to hell and just generally vandalized to death.

Who exactly the fuck is he to tell people what they can and cannot have? Or must pay a 'penalty' for? Is he someone's mother, or personal physician? No? Die, nanny tyrant motherfucker.

Seriously, this shit really gets under my skin.
