Seattle may ease ban on junk food in vending machines

From The Seattle Times: The Seattle School Board may relax its ban on unhealthful food in high schools amid complaints from student governments that the policy has cost them hundreds of thousands of dollars in vending-machine profits over the past seven years. In 2001, before the junk-food ban was passed, high-school associated student body governments across the city made $214,000 in profits from vending machines, according to district data. This year, they've made $17,000.
