Healthy Vending Machine Lease Program for Schools, No Government Vending Grants Required...
Healthy Vending Machine Lease Program for Schools, No Government Vending Grants Required and No Money Down SAN DIEGO--(Business Wire)-- With schools nationwide facing budgetary restrictions and childhood obesity at an all time high, the pioneer of the health food vending industry, YoNaturals Inc., recently unveiled their new website www.schoolhealthyvending.com. The new program allows any school across America to obtain state-of-the-art healthy vending machines via a no money down leasing program. With this program now in place, YoNaturals can offer schools the ability to lease healthy vending machines for as little as $40 a week and order a wide range of nutritionally acceptable products online with Free Delivery nationwide. The machines vend natural and organic snacks and drinks exclusively, and cost schools only a low monthly payment with flexible terms. Once the machines pay themselves off, schools keep 100% of the profit garnered from sales, offering an option for schools to institute a healthy vending program even without a government grant. "Schools can choose from an enormous selection of over 250 nutritious organic and natural vending products which will appeal to students of all ages," says Mark Trotter, CEO of YoNaturals, "which ensures that the machines are patronized frequently and pay for themselves within a very short time frame." All vending products offered by YoNaturals and School Healthy Vending have been carefully chosen to meet all State Nutritional Guidelines as well as being tested by kids for taste. The revolutionary program arrives concurrently with a new line of healthy vending machine options: The "YoThirsty" and "YoHungry" for drinks and snacks respectively, and the combo machine called the "YoZone" which houses both beverages and food simultaneously in a temperature-controlled setting. The machines also accept electronic payment for student cards or credit/debit cards, which has been shown to boost vending sales by up to 35%. "The U.S. is filled to the brim with overly processed foods and sugar-laden drinks that we wouldn't give to a farm animal, and yet junk food vendors peddle their wares backed by billions of dollars a year in advertising," says Trotter. "With obesity and early onset diabetes spreading like wildfire across the country, isn't it time we took drastic measures to stem the growth of these epidemics?" Schools have traditionally catered to the highest bidder, serving food that was chosen based on contracts and budgetary concerns rather than student health. Corn dogs, pizza and nachos are frequently offered as school lunches, while vending machines lure children like moths to a flame with candy bars, chips and sodas. Is there any question as to why America is in this unhealthy quagmire? "It is not a child's job to know what is good for him or her, it's the parent's and school's responsibility to provide a healthy environment," says Trotter. "With the School Healthy Vending program, schools don't have to fight childhood obesity at the expense of their already limited budgets. Everyone can benefit." Any school administrator or food service personnel interested in creating a healthier school environment should visit www.schoolhealthyvending.com to learn about what they can do to make natural and organic vending products available to their students. The unhealthy epidemics among our youth have progressed far enough; it's time to make a change.
