From staff reports:

Vending machines are getting a healthy makeover. The Federal Way School District reports that vending machines have switched out high-calorie soft drinks with water, juices and diet soda. Elementary schools will have Aquafina non-flavored water, the middle schools will have water and fruit juices, and high schools will have water and juice along with diet soda, diet Lipton tea, SoBe Lean, Sobe Lifewater, Gatorade and Gatorade G2. Student stores must follow the same guidelines and will not have non-diet sodas.
