One New Jersey school district is already making a push for healthier eating, a move that puts it one step ahead of what the state will eventually mandate.

The state of New Jersey is trying to enforce new standards of nutrition by requiring all schools to replace junk food with more nutritious alternatives. That's what the Middletown School District has already done. Vending machines in all of the district's schools are now filled with baked chips and bottled water. The district has also started serving baked, not deep fried, French fries. Portion sizes given to sizes have also changed.

The state's new law on nutritional changes for schools goes into effect in September.
