Healthy Fresh Vending on the School Nutrition Legislative Agenda
With the House now being in the Republicans hands, and they are sincere in their wishes to take the priorities of the people and make it there own priorities, then that means they must protect the health and well being of all Americans. Standing with the Americans in the prevention of obesity. Prevention is considered a significant cost control. Prevention keeps people from getting sick. Over 75% of health care cost come from chronic medical conditions that could have been avoided.
Many communities have put prevention to work by improving school meals and replacing the not so healthy with the healthy. Soda machines and candy machines are being replaced by water machines and fresh healthy vending machines that contain fruits and vegetables. This is a far difference than what it was years ago. America is taking action and wanting to help its fellow Americans to change their lifestyle into a more healthier one. Food is not the only area being touched, exercise is too.
So many schools fall below the national recommended amount of time a child may exercise at school. Now school officials as well as different other organizations are putting stress on the well being of America and fixing the issue before it continues to spiral out of control. By taking care of the school systems and continuing to improve the quality and offering the learning tools the children need in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
It wasn’t just food where the Senate and House has struck a chord within the communities. In South Carolina, the Senate decided to raise the cigarette tax. The 50 cents increase in sales tax discourages younger people that are in school to smoke. In Nashville, they Mayor Karl Dean has signed a document to complete streets. This plan is offering Americans other ways to travel. Bike trail, crosswalks, and cycle paths are giving people a way to enjoy their lives. Vending fresh products is good for consumers and using Fresh healthy vending machines is a way for people to control their consumption of junk food
