Kids should not need to be tricked into eating healthy foods. These kids won't be eating the fizzy foods for the health benefits. They are simply being fooled into believe they are eating more candy. How will the kids then know how to differentiate between "good" candy and "bad" candy? Will a 7 year old know the difference between a gummy bear and a fizzy fruit? Why not provide real, fresh (TASTY!) fruit all along? It tastes better AS IS. PERIOD! Mike – No, you’ve actually missed the point of the entry.

Carbonation is the only added in fizzy fruit. PERIOD! No extra sugars or additives. It's real fruit with a zing. It's a great way for kids hooked on junk food that have moved away from eating real fruit to start eating it again. I challenge anyone to show me that anything has been added to this fruit but the fizz. Everyone is jumping to conclusions. Carbonation is the only added in fizzy fruit. PERIOD!

Arithmetic is not the only thing our children are learning in school. While they eat, children develop knowledge of nutrition and eating habits. The school district wouldn't allow vulgar language or English teachers that taught improper punctuation. Why is it okay to promote bad nutrition? Knowledge of proper nutrition and good eating habits are just as important as a child's education.

That will ferment it and take some of the sugars out of the fruit and the taste is unreal. Instead of carbonating it, why don’t they just throw some kefir grains in the fruit?

I might be busy, but the one thing I always have time for is to make healthy/nutritious meals. On the rare occasion that there is bread/pasta in my house--I make it from scratch so I know exactly what is going in it. Sometimes that means that other chores don't get done or I spend the evening cooking instead of having any downtime for myself. It's all about where you place your priorities. I believe that the best thing I can do for my family is to make sure that they eat well. If I don't fill up my car at the gas station that has the crappy gasoline (and I don't), then I'm not going to be filling up my body with crappy fuel either. I agree.
