- YoNaturals Inc. Mark Trotter, 858-794-9955 ext 102 sales@yonaturals.com YoNaturals Inc., the nationwide leader in healthy vending, announced today the launch of their new "Direct to Schools" healthy vending program. This much overdue program is available to every school in the U.S. and consists of a "no money down" lease program with low-cost 48 and 60 month payment terms. Healthy Vending Machines can be leased for as low as $40 per week.

This program allows schools to choose their own healthy snacks and drinks from our huge range of nutritionally acceptable products with 100% of the profits from the vending machines received staying in the school's bank account said Mark Trotter, CEO YoNaturals. "Every Public and Private School nationwide

is essentially pre-approved for our new program and the machines essentially pay for themselves quickly through the sale of the healthy snacks and drinks," Trotter said.

YoNaturals offers 3 different machine options. The "YoZone" for drinks and snacks simultaneously, the "YoThirsty" for drinks only and the new "YoHungry" for snacks only. These options allow administrators to have complete control over their school vending programs. YoNaturals understands many schools are still committed to contracts with major soft drink companies; hence the launch of its new "YoHungry" for snacks only, making this program one that caters to any school that wishes to implement Healthy Snack Vending.

"Our new website, www.schoolhealthyvending.com, also allows schools to order from a selection of over 250 natural and organic drinks and snacks that have been selected to meet all State Nutritional guidelines with free delivery Nationwide," says Trotter. "Our success in schools across the U.S. ensures that this new program is destined to be welcomed by 'cash strapped' school districts looking for a healthy vending solution." YoNaturals provides comprehensive training, delivery and installation of machines nationwide with ongoing technical support programs with low operating costs for the schools.

"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 food consumed in schools where children spend a majority of their time.

It is no wonder many of today's youth are struggling to stay healthy, with vending machines in schools stocked with candy, potato chips and soda, and cafeterias serving the likes of pizza, corn dogs, sub sandwiches and nachos.

Being the first healthy vending company of its kind, YoNaturals Inc., with the help of schoolhealthyvending.com, is striving to make a change. "We believe that now is the time for schools to take control of their vending programs and 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 for schools couldn't be better as the Soft Drink Companies are quickly withdrawing from schools everywhere. There is no question that the vast consumption of sugary sodas, candy and fast food are directly related to childhood obesity. We see that children are seeking better choices in their diets, and healthy snacks and beverages are the fastest-growing product segments in the food industry." Dr. Roy will also be ranking all the drinks and snacks on www.schoolhealthyvending.com products to ensure they meet State Nutritional guidelines as well as meeting the taste requirements that children desire.

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 found in YoNaturals' state of the art vending machines are: Hansens Naturals, Honest Beverages, Clif Bar, Arrowhead Water, Function Drinks, Stacey's Pita Chips, Horizon Organic Milk, Late July and Kashi.

YoNaturals Inc. encourages any school / food service decision-makers, or those interested in making a change to visit www.schoolhealthyvending.com to learn more about what can be done to help pave the way for healthier lifestyles among our children and teens. It's high time we took control of our vending machines in schools everywhere.
