Healthy Vending Machine Snacks

Check out the vending machines - healthy snacks are priced at $.25 (yes they have Dr. Mike's sign-off) and unhealthy snacks are priced at $1.25. Let's face it, America is fat. If we don't do something about encouraging healthy eating things are just going to get worse. This will be an interesting experiment with our own employees to see if we can have any impact on snacking habits. See Deb Loyden's entry with pictures. There are some great (good tasting) snacks that won't put on the lbs. Let me know what you think - as if you wouldn't Rudy.

I work in the Mason, OH office buildings and we don't have healthy snacks in our vending machines.  Do you know who I could approach with the idea you are using (healthier snacks being cheaper than unhealthy ones)?

I think healthy vending machine snacks are a great idea.  But will people buy them?

Our vending machines only have unhealthy snacks.  People don't buy the healthy ones.
