What is the significance of Wholemeal Vending to Companies and Schools?!

Whole Meal Vending, the country's first and only vending suppliers and manufacturer committed to providing healthy and green food, offering businesses and schools an easy, economical way to comply with new government policies.

Whole Meal Vending's new breakfast, lunch and dinner vending machines stock nutritious, healthy and green foods--changing the landscape of the vending industry in Australia.

The prevalence of overweight and obesity in Australia is increasing. Recent studies estimate that more than half of all Australian women (52 percent) and two-thirds of men (67 percent) are overweight or obese. That is, almost 60 percent of the adult population in Australia is overweight or obese.

Over the last 20 years, obesity rates in children have risen greatly in many countries around the world - what can be referred to as an internal epidemic of childhood obesity. Rates of childhood obesity in Australia are at one of the highest amongst developed nations. Twenty-five percent of Australian children are currently overweight or obese, a huge jump from 5 percent in the 1960s.

Whole Meal Vending wants to change that. It is the first company to offer breakfast, lunch and dinner choices in its vending machines-- all low fat, low GI and high in vitamins and nutrients. Now, companies that have been struggling to comply with these new government policies have this highly profitable new option that solves their compliance issues.

Many Australians have to eat outside their homes, while at work, at school or "on the run" anywhere. They need something beyond the unhealthy, high-fat junk food and drinks found in the majority of vending machines.

The company's mission includes:

? providing healthy alternatives in vending machines.
? fighting Australia’s obesity epidemic.
? educating consumers about healthier dietary options.
? reducing the availability of junk food in vending machines.
? helping consumers develop healthier eating habits through awareness and understanding.

"Whole Meal Vending is in the midst of revolutionizing the Australian vending market by providing healthy, tasty nutritious food in the first healthy breakfast, lunch and dinner vending machines. The vending market is set to change. Consumers like convenience and they like healthy, and now they get both."

This mission is perfectly aligned with the SA Health Healthy Food and Drink Choices for Staff and Visitors in SA Health Facilities (2008), which seeks to:

? increase the range, number, availability and promotion of healthier food and drink choices.
? decrease the availability and promotion of energy-dense, nutrient-poor food and drinks.
? increase the availability of healthy food and drinks after hours.
