Food news: Scientist want your fruit to have a carbonated kick



This article on CNN is about a fun new food invention. Because so few American children eat their daily dose of fruits, some entreprenurial scientists are looking at new ways to make fruit exciting. One man found that by leaving a pear in a cooler of dry ice, the cardon dioxide infused the fruit with carbonation.

Although the article points out that no long-term studies have been done to discern the long-term effects of cardonation in fruit, Fizzy Fruit is already on shelves at Wal-Marts in the Southeast. They only add cardon dioxide, which presumable makes it good for you.

I'd give it a try, but I do worry how one's body would react. Then again, I'm prone to drinking diet soda all day, which I'm sure has more cardonation.
