Just read this article as linked by Jennifer over at Vegan Lunchbox. The article indicates that snack food choices are changing. It is good thing as more children are snacking on fruit, yogurt and water rather than soda and cookies. Even Cookie Monster is in on the change!Now, what I would like to see is this. Get all that sugar, food coloring, candy and gelatin out of that yogurt. Fruit snacks and roll ups are very popular with the under 10 set, but are really glorified candy. My kids love these, and they are fruit, but oh so difficult to find, and pricey compared to the $1 box of candy fruit snacks. Times are a changin..... that's a good thing. But don't forget we are responsible for reading labels and making decisions, not the guys who make money peddling snacks.
