Better-for-you snacking has come down to this: fresh fruit all but guaranteed to make kids belch.
It's Fizzy Fruit — whole grapes or slices of apples or pineapples carbonated in a secret process with the same carbon dioxide that's in soft drinks but without added sugar.

Hmmm... I like this quote from the article...
One nutritionist is concerned. "Will this get kids used to eating fruit in an unnatural form and deter them from eating it in a natural form?" asks Kelly Brownell, director of the Yale Center for Eating and Weight Disorders. "It's sad that we've come to this state of affairs."
I jus dont get what happened to the old principle of jus encouragin kids to eat fruit by first, settin the good example of introducing proper eatin from infancy...... Gawd, my feelin is why are we always tryin to improve something that would never be a prob if proper diet and eatin was started from the "beginnin"..........
Im not crazy about the idea of fizzy fruit.... that's my opinion....
