Healthy Food in Schools

School boards all over North America have started opting for healthier foods in their cafeterias and vending machines. Everyone who is in a position to care about this issue agree that children need nutritious, high-fiber, low-fat foods to remain attentive. This of course includes parents, physicians, teachers and administrators.

Vending operators have also changed their attitude towards the kind of food products that they vend. As a Planet Antares vending operator, you should pick the right locations where you can vend healthy products from your vending machines. Not all locations will have a majority of health conscious people, that’s why it is important that when you vend healthy products, you should do it in the right location.

Schools are the perfect place for healthy vending, because childhood obesity has been called an epidemic that has been brought on by poor diet and lack of exercise. There are some areas of the U.S. where 1 in 4 children are considered to be overweight. The fear is that this number will increase over the coming years. That is why schools have decided to take action by introducing healthier foods in schools. Placing a Planet Antares vending machine in a school would be a perfect way of vending healthy products.

When you have vending machines in a school, you can enter a contract with the school or you can run the business entirely by yourself. If you plan to run the Planet Antares vending machines by yourself, then you would need to be regular with servicing the vending machines. A school has high traffic, so it wouldn’t take long for the products in your vending machines to be sold. This is the reason why schools make such good locations.

Once you have secured a school location for your Planet Antares vending machines, place the right kind of healthy products in the vending machines. Healthy products don’t need to look dull, just because they are healthy products. You can get a good supplier who will provide you with eye catching healthy products that are reasonably priced. The students should be able to afford the products that you are vending. Healthy products are known to be slightly higher priced than regular snacks and beverages, but that doesn’t mean that there are no healthy products that are reasonably priced.

Vending in schools can bring in high profits for your vending business, as long as you are vending healthy products at the right price.
