Health Food -- Eww!

Hard. Tasteless. Disgusting. What are you thinking of? A stale cookie? A moldy pie? Nah. Actually, those words describe the healthy, yet barely edible, food students are "enjoying" at my school, Monroe High, in North Hills.
And we're not going to be the only ones. Last month the Los Angeles Unified School District Board of Education voted unanimously to ban the sale of junk food from vending machines and student stores on its 713 campuses starting July 1. This comes after then-Gov. Gray Davis signed a bill last year banning elementary and junior high schools from selling sodas starting in January.
