Now that obesity has more than doubled in children and adults over the last few decades, products, projects and programs that promote kid's nutrition are becoming more important than ever.

Although junk food seems like it will always be more appealing to kids, healthy eating is being turned into a source of entertainment with games like Pixelate and Funfair In Your Mouth.
