Vending Machine Mania
July 16, 2009
Just think about it, if you get a bit peckish at work, at the train station or even after a workout at the gym, and there’s a vending machine around filled to the brim with delicious chocolates and crisps, you’re hard pushed not to grab a quick snack. They are so convenient that we don’t really think about the implications that vending machines have on our health if they are not stocked carefully and with consideration. I have recently started to see vending machines that are filled with a mixture of the traditional vending machine snacks (such as crisps, fizzy drinks and sweets) but also with snack bars, small bags of dried fruit and nuts and healthy living treats. This is definitely the way forward as people who are trying to turn their life around with healthy living are falling prey to the lure of the traditional vending machine. With over 150 calories on average in every fizzy drink, packet of crisps, and even more in your average chocolate bar there’s no chance for your average person who is trying to live a healthier life, unless they have the willpower of a cheetah who’s not eaten in 4 days chasing a herd of wildebeests! All vending machines from now on should stock a range of snacks so when we get tempted we can make the right choice!
