Planet Antares Caters To Health Oriented Vending

In order to foster healthier eating habits among people, traditional snacks and beverages are being replaced by nutritional products in vending machines.

These are places where soft drinks, candy and fried snacks are giving way to bottled water and juices and lower-fat snacks and crackers.

At present, obesity is a major concern and Planet Antares vending operators have begun to notice that they need to make changes in the products that they vend in several locations in order to serve the needs of health conscious customers.

Schools are undergoing changes with an orientation towards healthy products. This is the result of constant prodding by nutritionists, parents as well as state legislatures. Snack and beverage manufacturers have also started offering healthy versions of traditional snacks such as soy milk, nutrition bars, etc. all these products can be vended by Planet Antares vending machines. Vending machine operators have also taken note of the attitude changes towards healthier food, so you can engage them to provide such services in your premises.

The only problem with healthy vending options is cost and availability of appropriate food items. Organic and lower-fat items can cost twice as much as regular items.
