Organic vending machines in Italy

In an effort to provide fast, healthy food and curb childhood obesity rates, Italy's Lazio region has added organic fruit to their vending machines. For 50 cents to one Euro a piece, you can get organic bananas, apples, pears, and oranges. Regional Agricultural Councilor, Daniela Valentini intends to fill institutional buildings like schools and hospitals with healthy options.

Lazio
is a region of Italy bordered by Tuscany. Rome is the capitol. With more than more than 2,700 organic producers, Lazio has the highest consumption of organics in the country. They were even represented when 20 Lazio companies made an appearance at Dubai's Middle East Natural and Organic Products Expo. Perhaps Lazio's efforts to provide quick healthy food will spread to this country as well.
