Phil dishes out this week's food news with topics such as: low-fat fried foods, anti-oxidants helping with the aging process, pediatricians claiming that apple juice is good for children, and much more.
SpongeBob spinach is just one of the newly licensed cartoon characters to sell fresh fruit and vegetables to kids.
It makes me wonder why more healthy foods don't use modern-day marketing tactics.
"How can we get kids to eat better?" is a question we ask so often these days that it's in danger of becoming a mindless mantra. Schools all over the country are banning soda machines and overhauling their lunch menus; pre-sliced, pre-packaged apples and oranges are being marketed as the greatest thing since sliced bread, because the neat, easy-to-eat slices make fruits a more viable snack food for kids.
