Family Budgets to Increasingly Favor Vended Foods?

Will tightening family budgets mean even more revenues for healthy food producers and their distributors?

A legion of YoNaturals vending distributors, already blessed by a solid market segment which values healthy choices in vended snack foods and drinks, may well be the beneficiaries of a consumer shift away from expensive restaurant meals.

The same market forces which have brought Wal-Mart corporation profit increases while their pricier competitors flounder, seem also to be turning consumers away from sit-down restaurants and their relatively higher costs.  This happens in nearly every economic recession, and this one is stacking up to be no different. To the extent that the search for lower cost alternatives lead lunchtime crowds to sample their local vending machines’ fare, those producers offering nutritional quality might well see sales volume increases.

And there is no one with a healthier name in vended nutrition than YoNaturals.

In like measure, there are no distributors better positioned to profit from any such trend than the growing team of distributors marketing YoNaturals’ four hundred plus snack food and drink choices.  Sales results consistently show it; and word of mouth among our distributors backs up what the sales figures show.  Food vending has historically been impervious to the passing economic cycles and now seems poised to ride this current one straight up.

How can you, too, be a part of our continuing YoNaturals success story?  Take the time today to contact our marketing department and to have a talk about the many food vending opportunities in your area.  And about how we can help you set up as a self-employed distributor of wholesome foods that add something very positive to the nutrition marketplace.

You’ll thank yourself, your community will thank you — and you’ll very likely never look back.  Our many satisfied, YoNaturals distributors continually confirm it!

Junk foods: Are we getting the whole story?

It would be hard to imagine any adult in the Information Age who isn’t yet aware that foods high in fats, sugars and salt are linked to obesity and various other chronic health problems.  Countless nutrition studies over the years have weighed the long-term effects of diet, including what’s labeled “junk” food, to determine its influence on human health.

And the baleful effects of junk foods especially have long since been known.

But how certain can we be that even now we know the full extent of the story?  A scholarly article published in the Public Library of Science (Medicine) looks into nutrition studies funded by food companies, and concludes that there is no reason not to believe that such studies suffer from a credibility problem known to taint comparable studies in, for instance, the pharmaceuticals industry.

It seems that research paid for by producers themselves tends to, in turn, produce findings sensitive to the needs of those actually funding the research.  No real surprise there, right?

The obesity, diabetes, hypertension and other afflictions credited to over-indulgence in junk foods might therefore be merely the tip of the iceberg, suggest the article’s authors.  Not a comforting thought when one considers just how omnipresent such foods remain in our own daily lives and those of loved ones.

Why is it that our bodies seem to tolerate such foods poorly in the long run?  If, as scientists conclude, homo sapiens spent their earliest days in forests and grasslands, happily meeting nutritional needs through nature’s wholesome bounty — might it not be logical to assume that the closer we can come to duplicating that natural feast, the better off we’ll be?

And might YoNaturals’ distinctive YoZone vending machines not be modernity’s closest commercial equivalent to that primeval cornucopia of healthy nutrition?  Consider that very few alternatives in the modern marketplace exceeds the wholesomeness of YoNaturals’ five-hundred healthy snack food and drink choices.  Certainly nothing that sports a modern-age wrapper!

And yet — many simply value YoNaturals products for their delicious taste.
