That title comes off of the circular for our local grocery store. I was so excited to read it that I wanted to share the news ~
"Great news! Fruit is now the number one snack given to children under age six, according to a new survey by the NPD research group. Fruit has replaced cookies, which previously held the number one spot, but is now second in popularity. All forms of fruit count, so offer children a variety of choices. Try fresh fruit, fruit cups, dried fruits, 100% fruit frozen pops.
"Other good news - cake and carbonated soft drinks are off the top ten list of snacks given to young children, and popcorn, a whole grain food, has been added.
"Improving snack choices for kids is an important step, so kudos to all the parents and caregivers who are helping improve the health of the next generation!"

I am delighted ~ I guess the more chemicalized things become, the less the taste is appealing. This is good news. Perhaps our food suppliers will begin to change back to use of more natural substances in baked goods and treats!
