Obesity and diabetes are on the rise in children as well as adults. It has been said that of this next generation of children -- they may die off before their parents.

In the schools there is a huge increase of acanthosis nigricans (see article on "Its not dirt" written by Marsha).

Basically kids are consuming more white flour and sugar products than ever before. The pancreas must pour out more insulin -- and the insulin is actually leaking into the skin and causing "dark wrinkle marks" around the neck, under the arms and in the groin area. This is a telltale sign of the child's diet and can be a pre-cursor of diabetes.

We wanted to create something that would satisfy "the sweet tooth", yet be nutritious. Marsha's candy (see ingredients page for nutritional content) contains fiber, plant based protein, and healthy fats, which are largely missing in kid's (and adults) diet's today.
