Recognizing that the health of our nation\u2019s military personnel is \"graphics<\/a>important to national security, military officials think it\u2019s time for a health upgrade in the vending machines that service men and women patronize while on duty. The military has long served as a role model for health and wellness for society at large, so the renewed interest in healthy vending marks a positive development.
\nHealthy Vending NY applauds the military\u2019s efforts to improve the health of our service men and women. We stand ready to assist the military in these efforts.
\nThere are several initiatives the military is exploring to improve healthy options in military locations.
\nCaptain Kimberly Elenberg, director of the U.S. Public Health Service\u2019s medical readiness and training program, said she wants to see healthier choices available, both in vending machines and in foodservice operations on military bases. The average soldier only eats one serving of fruit or vegetables every three to six weeks, Elenberg said.
\nTwenty two percent of the service members and their families are obese. This number sounds okay when you consider 34 percent of the overall U.S. population is obese, but there\u2019 still work to be done.
\nElenberg, speaking at the annual U.S. Army conference, said her program is reconsidering its contracting practices for onsite vending and foodservice, according to military.com.
\n\"Hint<\/a>The move to improve nutritious options on military bases is also part of the U.S. Defense Department\u2019s Healthy Base Initiative. This is a study to examine the habits and health of service members and their families at 14 military bases worldwide. The study measures service personnel\u2019s access to healthy food.
\nIn addition to improving the healthy options in vending machines<\/a>, military officials want to make immediate changes to meal options on bases, such as asking restaurants to display calorie counts on menus.
\nAs important as all these initiatives are to the wellbeing of service personnel, the vending and foodservice operations on military bases need to be provided in a financially sustainable manner. The military needs sustainable services that align with its health priorities. Professional vending and foodservice companies provide these services.
