The Green Machine Means Calmer Kids The Hyperactive Children�s Support Group (HACSG) has welcomed the Green Machine. �Hyperactive children tend to find it difficult to concentrate and sit still for any length of time,� says Nick Giovanneli, of HACSG, �and have a tendency to become attention seekers. Hyperactive children can be emotionally immature, quickly becoming aggressive and weepy.� Following the installation in one school, headmaster Desmond Smith says: �There is more and more awareness of the correlation between additives in food and children�s behaviour.� The Green Machine is now so popular at his school it has to be restocked every day. David Berney, founder of Organic & Natural Food Company, has always believed that school children have a poor deal from vending machines. �My goal was to provide a range of products that meet both nutritional and ethical criteria,� he says, �but also which taste good enough to be the first choice for kids.� Berney recognises that this is more than just another vending concept. �The Green Machine is about more than selling food and drink. An integral part of our work is educational and we are offering every school that installs a machine a support programme that includes visits from nutritionists, farm and factory tours and a scholarship-winning new product development competition,� he says.
