Have you ever sat in your first period class then realized that you forgot your lunch? It’s probably happened to each of us at least once or twice. We need something that would be easy access for students to grab a snack and stay energized throughout the day. We need something for those picky eaters that do not like cafeteria food who forgot their lunch. What UME needs is a vending machine.

According to the Huffington Post, studies have consistently shown that when people eat healthy food, they increase their productivity and get better test results. So it makes sense that businesses and schools would want to serve their community members healthy food whenever possible.

When you think of a vending machine, you may think of it as a machine full of candy and chips, but not all vending machines are stocked with sugars and junk food. HUMAN Healthy Vending is a great organization that has helped get rid of this reputation. It provides a fun and healthier choice of foods and drinks.

Kids will forget their lunch from time to time. That’s not likely to change. A great way to avoid starving students during school and providing a healthy snack would be if UME had its very own vending machine. 10/31/16
