With an ever growing number of children facing health related ailments due to
poor eating habits, YoNaturals Inc. and healthystudentvending.com have teamed
up to help fight these problems by taking it to the schools.
SOLANA BEACH, Calif., Dec. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- In a day and age when
children and teens are historically at their unhealthiest, Solana Beach based
company YoNaturals and healthystudentvending.com have teamed up to make a
change. Their goal is to provide students across the country with healthier
lunch and snacking options during their school day.
Over the past quarter century an alarming trend has been occurring among
America's youth. The prevalence of obesity among today's children and teens
is nearly triple that of 1980. This is very concerning, especially
considering the fact that obesity can also increase the likelihood of
acquiring a number of other serious ailments. "With soaring rates of
childhood obesity and early onset diabetes, the U.S. is awash in the
consumption of nutrient poor sugary sodas and junk food," explains Mark
Trotter, CEO and founder of YoNaturals.
An obvious contributor to this problem is the schools in which these
children spend a majority of their time. With vending machines stocked with
candy, potato chips, and soda, and cafeterias serving the likes of pizza, corn
dogs, and tacos, it is no wonder many of today's youth are struggling to stay
healthy.
Being the first healthy vending company of its kind, YoNaturals Inc., with
the help of healthystudentvending.com, is hoping to make a change. "We
believe that now is the time to make simple, concrete changes -- like
introducing healthy vending -- that can help reverse the growing number of
health problems among our youth," Trotter notes. Advisor for YoNaturals and
famed author and nutritionist Dr. Roy Vartabedian adds, "The timing to get
into this business couldn't be better. Students are seeking better choices in
their diets, and healthy snacks and beverages are the fastest-growing product
segments in the food industry."
YoNaturals Inc. has sought out top brands that share in their vision in
providing healthy, natural, and also great tasting food and drinks through a
convenient vending system. Some of the brands you will find in YoNaturals'
state of the art vending machines, which they call "YoZones", include the
likes of Hanson's Soda, Clif Bar, Fiji Water, Function Drinks and Kashi.
These "YoZones" have a number of other unique features including 24/7 remote
monitoring software, cashless payment systems for credit and debit cards, and
they are temperature controlled to service both fresh food and drinks
simultaneously. In addition, YoNaturals operates a complete food and beverage
distribution service that covers virtually the entire U.S. All of these
features combine to offer ultimate convenience to not only the customer, but
also the owner/operator.
It is very obvious that a change needs to be made because, as the trends
suggest, the health of America's youth will only get worse if a movement in
the right direction is not started. With healthy and convenient choices now
available it is imperative that schools support these efforts to make a
change, and providing these choices is exactly where YoNaturals Inc. hopes to
come in.
YoNaturals Inc. encourages any school decision-makers, or those interested
in making a change to visit healtystudentvending.com to learn more about what
can be done to help pave the way for healthier lifestyles among our children
and teens.
