In schools, good nutrition and health is taught in health class so when class is over, to actually “practice what you preach” by having healthy snacks available for growing kids seems more and more like the right thing to do and schools are getting on board.

Martin Luthar King High School removed all of the unhealthy food and replaced the machines with only healthy options. Now 100% of food and drink available through vending machines at MLK is a healthy option!

Toronto, Canada to Require 50% Healthy Vending

• 50% of Beverages Sold in City Parks
• Healthy Vending Products Required
• Health Authorities Take a Stand

A 2011 article written in Inside Toronto reported that the City of Toronto will require 50% of beverages sold in city parks and facilities to be beverages that qualify as healthy products.  Several other Canadian and American cities are trying to set the same example, including San Francisco and Boston.  

Toronto Council has been concerned with the removal of sugary soft drinks and unhealthy snacks from vending machines in public areas.  The Council asked city staff to come up with a policy to phase out offending drinks over the next few years.  They want soft drinks replaced with healthier choices including real (100%) fruit juice, vegetable juice and milk.  Toronto’s government management committee voted to implement a 50% healthy vending plan, with 50% of everything sold qualifying as healthy by 2012.  Toronto, and other cities in Ontario, are under pressure from health authorities and consumers to make a stand against unhealthy vending and the current obesity crisis.  

According to Trinity-Spadina city Councillor, Adam Vaughan, “What we’re trying to do is help people make healthy choices, limit the effect that their health has on the tax base and the environment, and recognize that the freedom to make a bad choice still exists.” Be seen as part of the solution and not part of the problem.

Obesity is calculated using height and weight, and is defined as having a body-mass index of 30 or higher.  Obesity in Canada has risen dramatically over the past 50 years, with the most disturbing rises occurring in the past 20 years.  Obesity is such a concern because it is linked to many health problems, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and hypertension, as well as contributing to many other diseases. 

According to Statistics Canada, 24.1% of Canadians adults (over age 30) are obese, while 34.4% of adults in the United States are classified as obese.  In the past 20 years, obesity among men has increased by 10 percentage points and obesity in Canadian women has increased by 8 percentage points. 

Men were slightly more likely to be obese than women in Canada (24.3% vs. 23.9%).  In the United States, 35.2% of women and 32.6% of men are considered obese. The trend is not just growing for adults, it is also growing for children.  Unhealthy eating habits and a lack of exercise has lead to fatter youth with increasing health problems. 

Many see the rise of junk food and unhealthy snacks (along with marketing campaigns aimed at children) to be the cause. With healthy, fresh vending, you can become part of the solution instead of contributing to the problem.
