"  We&amp;#039;ve come to associate vending machine choices with largely negative health repercussions \u2014 despite a growing push for them to stock more nutritionally sound choices. This new &amp;quot;automated kiosk&amp;quot; offering from a Chicago company might just be the answer to the ol&amp;#039; vending machine&amp;#039;s plummeting approval ratings. Instead of chips and candy, they stock gourmet salads made from locally-sourced, organic ingredients. The meals come in recyclable plastic jars, so there&amp;#039;s also less planet-harming waste after the fact. As of now, the vending machines are limited to the Chicago area, but here&amp;#039;s hoping they&amp;#039;ll spring up in other places and inspire imitators in 2014. -Lauren Le Vine [Via Well &amp;amp;amp; Good] This post originally appeared on Redbookmag.com "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
