Junk food soon will be getting some competition in the Granite and Alpine school districts. Students instead could spoon up some yogurt for a snack.

Wasatch Junior High Principal Doug Bingham is waiting for the healthy vending machines to show up.

"I was trying to call the company this morning. So, I hope (it will arrive) within the next week," he said.

But will the students actually try slimming and trimming down?

"It's healthy. Sure," one student said. "I'd probably get a Snickers bar," another said.

And one girl said no way, "Because I don't really like yogurt."

Bingham says the schools will keep the machines with the chips and candy bars.
