  1. Healthy School Vending Machines Group 3: Public Policy Development and Persuasiveness By: Marissa Tennant Alexandra Vertefeuille CJ Lonchiadis Elana Aiello

  2. Describing our Proposal Our proposal is to put healthy vending machines in our school to replace the unhealthy foods that we currently have.  The healthy vending machine company that we would use is Yo! Naturals.

  3. That was then...

  4. This is now!

  5. About YoNaturals Healthy Vending Machines  • Has lead the fight against junk food in vending machines since 2006. • The vending machines have over 500 natural and organic snacks/drinks. • All of YoNaturals products are all natural, organic, contain no artificial flavors, sweeteners, or high fructose corn syrup. • Committed to increasing nutrition awareness in schools, businesses and major companies.

  6. Advantages of Healthy Vending Machines • Vending machines are filled with all natural and organic products. • All of the items in the vending machines have been taste-tested by students and meet state school nutrition and wellness guidelines for each state. • Has four different types of vending machines to choose from that meet our school’s needs. • The installations of the vending machines are provided by YoNaturals professional operators at no expense to the schools. • All of the vending machines feature state-of-the art technology with 24/7 remote monitoring system that notifies operators if a machines needs to be refilled or needs maintenance. • Schools are able to set timers on the machines to switch on and off at their discussion to correlate with any mandated break time. http://www.healthystudentvending.com/portal/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=31&Itemid=1

  7. Disadvantages of Healthy Vending Machines • Vending machines will cost our school money. • Uses a generous amount of energy (805 watts) • Vending machines will take up space. • Students may just replace the snacks from the vending machines as lunch, costing our school more money by refilling the vending machines. “These vending machines create and encourage a healthy environment that everyone can thrive on.” -Alfred Venzon

  8. How is our Proposed Public Policy Constitutional? Our proposed public policy is constitutional and does not violate power’s of the government in the following ways: • Government is not allowed to interfere with a person’s freedom or belief. • Government is not allowed to place unreasonable and unfair limits on a person's right to express him-or herself in speech, writing, or by other means. • Government is not allowed to take a person’s life, liberty, or property without giving that person a fair hearing in a court of law or before another authorized agency of government. • Government is not allowed to invade the privacy of a person’s home without a very good reason for doing so. • Government is not allowed to make laws that unreasonably or unfairly discriminate against people on the basis of race, religion, age, ethnic group (national origin), or gender.

  9. How our Proposed Public Policy Serves Purposes of Government Securing the rights of individuals Establishing justice Providing for security and public order Protecting the people from harm Providing for the general welfare  

  10. How our Proposed Public Policy Respects Individual Rights Our public policy respects the following individual rights: The right to freedom of religion The right to freedom of expression The right to due process of law The right to privacy The right to equality of opportunity

  11. Positive Feedback • Hey everyone- “We recently began our new healthy vending business and have begun placing machines. We have placed 8 machines and all have met or far exceeded our expectations. Our most successful machine was placed last Friday. It is located at a private school near our house. We finished filling it at around 11:30 on Friday, and had to restock the machine later that day! On Monday and Tuesday we also sold way beyond our expectations. Wednesday morning we filled the machine at 7:30 am and went back at 11 am and we already had to restock some coils...tomorrow we’ll see if we set another record! One month from placing our first machine we are averaging more than we thought we could at our locations. We are receiving very positive feedback from the locations and are happy with our decision to start our healthy vending business.” • “I'm so excited! They need to have these everywhere...including college campuses where munchies can get the best of you. No more freshmen (sophomore, junior or senior for that matter) 15! • “agreed!!i ALWAYS carry an array of snacks because I'm always at work or school or out, and will NOT succumb to snarfing down hostess cupcakes. the only thing I get out of a vending machine is coffee, and even then I'm a bit scared to know the nutritionals.” • “luckily for me, the vending machines I'm surrounded by every day have nature's choice bars in them, so if I’m really hungry I'll grab one of those. usually i try to stay away from the machines though. “ http://www.fitsugar.com/258505

  12. Who decides what kinds of food go into our school? • The state sets guidelines on what types of foods the school are allowed to serve. • The school committee then decides on what types of foods they want to have in the school. http://www.snact.org/
