Crispy Fruit Freeze-Dried Snacks from Crispy Green are the Perfect Snacks to Pack in Lunches and Backpacks!
Fairfield, NJ – August 10, 2021 – In a recent study from Rand Corp., 84% of parents surveyed said they planned to send their children (ages 5-18) back to school in person this fall.1 Last spring, about 53.1% of K-12 attended school in person.2 So, although it’s not 100%, it’s a big jump and will seem much closer to pre-pandemic numbers. This means that the need for convenient grab-n-go snacks and healthy lunch options will now increase as well. That’s why Crispy Fruit Snacks from Crispy Green should be at the top of parents’ back-to-school lists.

Watch the Sugar Intake!
With increased interest in health concerns due to COVID, parents are becoming better stewards of their children’s diets and lifestyle habits. It’s no secret sugar can pose many risks—particularly when consumed in quantities higher than what is recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and World Health Organization. Children who consume too much sugar could be at greater risk of becoming obese, hyperactive, and cognitively impaired, as adults, according to the results of a new study.
“Recent evidence shows obesity and impulsive behaviors caused by poor dietary habits leads to further overconsumption of processed food and beverages … A strong association between attention-deficits/hyperactivity disorders and being overweight or obese have also been revealed.3
