YoNaturals Healthy Vending Program to take on Childhood Obesity Nationwide

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) July 5, 2008 -- In a day and age when children and teens are historically at their unhealthiest, San Diego 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 in awash in the consumption of nutrient poor sugary sodas and junk food”, explains Mark Trotter, CEO and founder of YoNaturals.

Being the first healthy vending company of its kind, YoNaturals Inc., with the help of www.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”, The machines feature 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.

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 make a difference says Trotter".

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.
