Let's go ahead and mark our entry into season five with some hearty dialogues against capitalism: It's time for "Fizz Ed," this week on Morgendorks! When a cash-strapped Lawndale High turns to cola companies for those sweet, sweet vending machine contract dollars, Daria's forced to grapple with the juxtaposition of her moral objections and her general apathy.

And for our cultural context, we take a look at the controversy surrounding vending machines in schools. Are the health risks acceptable? What about the morality behind treating students like a demographic?

Enjoy!
