YoNaturals Natural and Organic Health Food Vending Program Continues to Thrive in '08.

SAN DIEGO--(Business Wire)--
In two short years, healthy vending trailblazer YoNaturals Inc. is
well on its way to making healthy vending a part of our daily life. In
the last few years, the previously unregulated vending industry has
come under immense scrutiny by school boards and government agencies.
Many are blaming the profit-hungry junk food vendors for undermining
our nation's health where it hurts us the most: our impressionable
youth.

   Based in San Diego, California, YoNaturals has paved the way for
health food vending to rock the foundation of junk food companies in
our schools, and America is taking notice. The immensity of the
company's distribution system is unparalleled in the natural and
organic vending industry, and it just keeps growing. YoNaturals
appointed 45 new distributors in 2008, exceeding already the 35
appointed in 2007. The company expects to have over 120 distributors
in over 160 U.S. cities by the end of the year.

   "Never has this country been so ready for a change. People are
horrified as they watch America's youth heading for disaster during
what should be the best years of their life," says CEO Mark Trotter.
"People are beginning to wonder how our government and our schools let
this happen in the first place. Well, we can't change the past, but we
can definitely change the future."

   And that is exactly what they are doing. Not content with simply
expanding a healthy vending business, YoNaturals has sprouted three
offshoots in the past year which specifically encourage schools to
jump on the natural and organic bandwagon. Healthy Student Vending
(www.healthystudentvending.com
(http://www.healthystudentvending.com)), is an educational website
geared towards assisting school decision makers in switching to
healthy vending programs. The second, Kid's Healthy Vending
(www.kidshealthyvending.com (http://www.kidshealthyvending.com)),
created the nation's first Elementary School vending program. Finally,
School Healthy Vending (www.schoolhealthyvending.com
(http://www.schoolhealthyvending.com)) offers an incredible 'no money
down' lease program with low monthly payments and flexible terms. This
program also allows schools to keep 100% of the profits once the
vending machines are paid off.

   "Our goal is to leave schools no excuse when it comes to replacing
their junk food with new health food vending machines," Trotter says.
"We have made healthy vending just as profitable as peddling junk
food, if not more so. There's no reason we can't help schools and the
students at the same time."

   With child obesity spiraling out of control, companies like
YoNaturals have endeavored to stem the tide of advertising dollars and
stop the inundation of our schools with unhealthy foods. The "YoZone"
combo vending machines exclusively vend natural and organic foods and
drinks. Newly designed for 2008 are the "YoHungry" and "YoThirsty,"
which are also temperature controlled and accept cashless payment.

   Manufacturers of health food products are also answering the call.
"We are constantly building stronger relationships with manufacturers
of healthy products who support our cause," says the CEO, "especially
because we are such an easy avenue for them to reach kids and get in
to schools." YoNaturals is also exploring new types of vending
technology which it will be able to spread throughout its huge network
of distributors; the expected launch date for these new technologies
is 2009.

   The success of YoNaturals is a clear indication that our schools,
parents, children and our nation as a whole are ready for the healthy
vending revolution.
