Then imagine having to wait two months. Welcome to the third floor of the Malkin Athletic Center, where the Harvard fencing team passes the time before practices by playing a little Ultimate Frisbee.

Kids who order Little Caesars from their school cafeteria are now buying a slimmed-down slice with part-skim mozzarella and fewer rounds of pepperoni. Frito-Lay this fall began delivering Baked Doritos to schools, and in January it will launch Cheetos Reduced Fat snacks, which contain 50% less fat and were...
