Garfield High School students walk past the organic vending machine at the school, leaving them nearly untouched. There are two more vending machines next to each other in the student common areas that sell juices and water.
The Seattle School Board is considering relaxing its ban on unhealthy food in schools amid complaints from student governments that the policy has cost them millions of dollars in vending machine profits over the past seven years.

The policy, approved in 2004 before any state or federal regulations on school nutrition had been established put Seattle on the cutting edge of the fight against childhood obesity. But board members now acknowledge they probably went too far. The restrictions, which are more strict than the now-crafted state and federal guidelines, only allow products such as milk, natural fruit juice, baked chips and oat-based granola bars.
