USA Today also reports that parents are beginning to clean up their nutrition acts when it comes to the snacks they serve their children.

Fruit is the most common snack for children under 6, and cookies are second. In 1987, cookies ruled and fruit ranked second, according to findings from the NPD Group, a market research firm.
