Williamson County, Centennial High School- home of the Cougars - has joined the Healthy Vending Revolution! Christy Sykes, owner of Healthy Vending Tennessee, has been installing Fresh Healthy Vending machines in local schools and businesses  in Williamson County and Nashville.  Centennial High School is the first Williamson County School to join the revolution.  Sykes say "kids are more aware of healthier food options that ever before" and she wants to make those options available in and out of school.  Sykes has children in Williamson County Schools and she feels the best place to start change is at home.  The machines contain all-natural and organic options of drinks and snacks - and with over 500 items to choose from there is a machine to fit any locations needs.

Fresh Healthy Vending Comes to Middle Tennessee...If you have been to Premiere Athletics, Showtime, Cheekwood or a YMCA in Franklin, Brentwood or Maryland Farms lately you have most likey seen the vending machine that is changing how we think of vending snacks.  No more high fat chips and sugar filled candies - Christy Sykes is changing that.  "People in this community are health conscious, and they deserve options to the traditional junk food typically found in most vending machines." 

Not only do these machines offer 100% healthy, natural, organic snacks like Pop Chips, Pirates Booty, Cliff Bars, Hansen Sodas, and protien drinks - they are also dual controlled so you can offer both drinks and snacks in one machine.  For the times you are caught without cash, no worries, these machines have credit/debit card readers. 

Sykes is promoting healthy optioins locally supporting Fresh Healthy Vending National Initiative - FreshandHealthy.org.  A young teen at the Franklin YMCA stopped Sykes as she was stocking a machine and thanked her for making changes one step at at time.  She said "It is the best compliment I have received so far.  We start change with our children and by setting good examples for them."
