Stanford Getting Healthy Vending Machines

Stanford University has a new arrangement with YoNaturals to install some healthy vending machines. YoNaturals will place the ‘YoZone’ machines in several buildings on campus through their distributor, Natural Now LLC. The school departments that receive the machines in their buildings will receive a portion of profits from the machines and Natural Now also plans to donate some profits to the ShineOn.org Foundation (awards educational scholarships to AIDS-affected high school students in Africa). Here are some details about the YoZone vending machines:

• - Debit and credit card payment systems
• - Temperature control for fresh food/drinks
• - All foods and drinks in the machines “have no genetically modified ingredients, no partially hydrogenated oils, no unhealthy sugars, no dyes or preservatives.”
• - Some examples: Stacy’s Pita Chips, Clif Bars, Teas Tea, Lara Bar, Luna, Pirate’s Booty, Fiji water, Bolthouse Farms, and Horizon organic milk.

I am so happy to hear that healthy foods are finding success at big institutions such as Stanford. I wish I had a YoZone machine at my office! Click here to get a glimpse of the YoZone vending machine. Ahhh, it’s just beautiful.
