New Local Vending Operator to Launch Innovative High Tech Vending Machines Offering Only Healthy Snacks

TULSA, Okla., Sept. 13 /PRNewswire/ — In the past vending machines have not traditionally been a vehicle for healthy snacks but thanks to an innovative program being launched in Tulsa, they are now being used as vehicles to distribute much needed healthy products. Something Tulsa and Oklahoma in general could certainly embrace.

Oklahoma currently has the 9th highest rate of adult obesity at 26.8 percent and the 17th highest rate of overweight youths (ages 10-17) at 15.4 percent in the nation, according to a new report by Trust for America’s Health (TFAH).

   *  29.4 percent of adults in Oklahoma report that they do not engage in      any physical activity. The national average is 22 percent.   *  Oklahoma is one of 17 states that require their school lunches,      breakfasts, and snacks to meet higher nutritional standards than the      U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) requires.   *  Oklahoma is one of 22 states that have set nutritional standards for      foods sold in vending machines, a la carte, in school stores, or in      bake sales in schools, and the state is one of 26 states that limit      when and where these foods may be sold on school property beyond      federal requirements.
