Neurobiologist Galen Kaufman with the help of a food scientist perfected the method of carbonating fruit and established the Fizzy Fruit Company in 2005. The company had the mission to promote health, wellness and fitness among children thereby reducing childhood obesity. Fizzy Fruit was launched in US in 2005 and the initial feedback was very heartening. The company made many strategic promotional tie-ups and had plans to make Fizzy Fruit available throughout US in a short time. Worldwide, 22 million children were overweight among which the share of US was the highest. Some of the factors that had led to increasing obesity among kids in US were unhealthy eating habits, peer pressure and influence of television advertising. Marketers were increasingly targeting kids, as kids influenced the spending of over $1.88 trillion globally in 2002 and the figure was rapidly increasing. While the consumption of snack and junk food was ever increasing, many healthy and 'good-for-you' products were also being launched due to the rising awareness and pressure to curb obesity.
