"can do kids" news and stories

Snack bars are still growing in popularity for active adults who either need an energy boost or are simply too busy to sit down to a full meal, but there are a lot of busy kids who have the same activity levels. Between school, sports and other off campus activities, many kids don't sit down to a healthy meal or snack when they're hungry. Instead, they reach for candy bars and other fatty snacks that are well within reach at schools and parks. There are several companies with new snack bars for kids that provide a healthier alternative to candy, while still giving kids a taste of something more exciting than an apple or banana.
