EMERYVILLE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, LUNA®, the maker of the Whole Nutrition Bar for Women®, kicked-off an interactive contest aptly named, “Feed Your Strength…at Work!” on Facebook, which aims to reinforce LUNA’s philosophy of positive snacking during the workday. Women will also be able to experience the delicious and nutritious rewards from LUNA vending machines at events taking place in New York, Chicago, Austin, San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego (see below for a full schedule).
“We’re flipping the typical perception of vending machine snack food on its head,” said Rosa Compean, LUNA brand director. “LUNA is encouraging women to feed their strength and that starts by making healthier choices that add to their overall workplace wellness.”
The contest will be open from May 1, 2013 through June 30, 2013. Two lucky winners of the “Feed Your Strength…at Work!” contest will be awarded the opportunity to host a LUNA vending machine at their place of employment, filled with complimentary LUNA bars and featuring a touch screen display that gives nutrition tips and guidance on snacking positively throughout the day, as well as six consultation sessions led by registered dietitian and nutrition strategist for LUNA, Tara DelloIacono Thies and her expert team.
“Often when hunger strikes, women grab for whatever is convenient with little consideration for its nutritional value,” said DelloIacono Thies. “Packed schedules and stress at the office can lead to a pattern of making impulsive and unhealthy nutritional choices. By carving out a few minutes for a proper break – and a nutritious snack – women can maintain energy levels to get them through their busy days in a more positive manner.”
“Feed Your Strength…at Work!” is a part of LUNA’s larger Feed Your Strength campaign which kicked off earlier this year with the LUNA webisode series, “Debunking the Diet” which tackles common diet myths and provides women with sound, relatable nutrition advice. The webisodes can be viewed on the LUNA YouTube page.
To enter the “Feed Your Strength…at Work!” contest, participants will be prompted to post photos and descriptions showcasing the healthy changes they are making in their workplace to www.Facebook.com/luna. On LUNA’s Facebook page users will also find more information on submission instructions as well as contest official rules.
