Kids chill out with new vitamin pops

Did you know that only one in five children eat the recommended five or more servings of fruits and vegetables each day, or that one-fourth of all vegetables eaten by children and adolescents are french fries?

According to the American Dietetic Association, children are not eating the recommended amounts of fruits and vegetables, a major source of vitamins.

Many companies have attempted to help children get more vitamins in the form of gumballs, chewable cartoon characters, vitamin-fortified cereals, juice and even purple salad dressing.

The problem is, most of these foods are loaded with sugar. Children may like the taste, but you won't like the ingredients.

So how can you keep you child healthy without the sugar high? Eating more fruits and vegetables is the best option, but if that doesn’t work, Rebecca Leonard, of J. Leonard Neutraceuticals recommends a freeze pop.
