YoNaturals Healthy Vending

YoNaturals is preparing to weather the storm as food prices continue to soar. The organic and natural food industry seems as if it would be hit the hardest, given that customers already pay a premium for taking care of their health. Many people are wondering whether customers of the organic industry will stay loyal. But YoNaturals is confident that health-minded consumers will continue to value their health amidst rising food prices, a belief which is strongly supported by recent data.

The organic food sector has shown remarkable growth over the past decade, and continues to do so despite a weakened economy. Smart consumers seem to know that if they skimp on proper nutrition, they will pay an even larger price later when their health falters. YoNaturals and other companies have wagered their continued success on the resiliency of those people who will sacrifice in other areas of their life before they give up on their healthy lifestyle.

According to the Future Ingredient Trends in Food and Drinks report, consumption of organic foods and drinks is projected to be a $58.9 billion dollar industry by 2010, up from $31.8 billion in 2005. Mark Trotter, CEO of YoNaturals healthy vending, remains confident that those living a natural and organic lifestyle will continue their trend towards better health. So far, those placing a premium on nutrition have remained remarkably resilient to food price fluctuations.

YoNaturals created of the YoZone healthy vending machine after witnessing the unrelenting success of health food chains such as Trader Joe's and Whole Foods, which have proven that people are becoming very particular about what they put in their bodies. These customers are also willing to pay a premium to protect their health.

YoNaturals' goal is to bring these healthier options to more locations and make them convenient on a daily basis, even if you couldn't make it to the store yet this week. By brining the YoZone to workplaces, school and hospitals, discerning consumers can continue their healthy lifestyle uninterrupted, even when they are far from home. Despite an overall increase in food prices, YoNaturals is confident that customers will continue to return for the healthy food and great taste.

A law passed Monday in France, stating that "schools can no longer make vending machine junk food accessible to students". A recent report (performed by the Food Standards Association of France) confirms obese children are overweight due to excess consumption of unhealthy food choices predominately offered within vending machines on school premises. France is the first country to react with legislature in response to the reports' findings.

Principal Pierre-Louis Lefèvre, head of L'Ermitage International School of France, located 8 miles west of Paris, told USA TODAY reporters that "not vun of za children in zis school are zat overveight, and zey should be able to eat vat zie vant, veter it iz a apple, or a sneakers-bar".

Students have already begun to riot outside of the school gates with picket signs and paper airplanes. One student was observed threatening a school bus driver, while holding a metal lunch pail over the driver's head. Police are attempting to diffuse the riot with Dairy Queen Butterfinger Blizzards and buckets of buttered popcorn.

The "L'Amérique Formidable" (Super America, store #87325), located only 2 blocks from the school, reported already two different shoplifting cases since the beginning of the candy bar-ban. The last police report filed by the store was nearly 5 years ago when an unidentified male was caught showering in the car wash. No theft or shoplifting cases have otherwise been reported.

Principal Lefèvre has devised numerous ways to snake around the loopholes of the new legislation. All vending machines have been placed on concrete cylinders so that only the already-healthy, taller children can access the money-slots. Also, many vending machines have been moved to various teachers' lounges and offices, as to remove students' snacking temptation. As a final security measure, weight-scales have been fused by technical engineers directly to the front of the machines. The machines weigh each individual when money is inserted; if the person is registered at over 100 pounds, a bottle of water will automatically be dispensed, regardless of the snack item chosen.

President of the PTA (Parent Teachers Association), Mrs. Marie Basset, could not be reached for comment. She was en route to Paris Community Hospital due to a sudden onset of insulin shock.
