SPECIAL FORMULATIONS FOR CHILDREN AND FOR ADULTS
DESCRIPTION
Heading
Overview of Foodbar Market
[Para 1] Food bars are quickly becoming the archetypal food for the 21 st
century America.
This is due to the fact that people have less time and desire to cook, but are
also
increasingly interested in better diets (high protein, low fat to low
carbohydrate.) Food
bars, particularly the energy and nutrition varieties, serve the purpose -
there is no at-home
preparation, it can be held in one hand, and it can be easily purchased at
most food or
food-related outlets.
[Para 2]
Food bars, vary in size and composition from the new wave of breakfast bars to
bite-size
versions that are blurring the lines between candy and cookies. Food bar
producers want to
appeal to the growing needs by focusing on the portability and wholesome
ingredients in
their food bar products. New items such as high protein Atkins' Bar, Cliff
Bar'sLuna line and
PowerBar's Pria, Ultra Slim Fast line are aimed specifically at women and or
persons desiring
weight loss. Flavours typically feature age-old favourites like chocolate,
peanut butter, and
strawberry and cake or cereal type textures and or tastes.

[Para 3]
Adults are a large target market for the food bar manufacturers due to
portability and
weight-loss claims of their snacks. However, children are also increasingly
selecting food
bars as a snack or treat along with a meal. Children (ages 2-18) eat snack-
type foods while
watching TV (26%), eating a meal (26%), doing nothing in particular (14%),
doing homework
(5%), or playing -computer- related games (5%). According to Snacking in
America Report,
snacking habits are honed early in life. Children under 18 account for a-
quarter (27%) of all
snacking in America, with boys eating snacks more often than girls.
Alarmingly, the latest
report identifies preschoolers and teens as the most important snack-
consumers, based on
how often they snack today and what statistics project 10 years from now.
Unfortunately,
for children, sugar-based, caffeinated chocolate, processed carbs, non-organic
granola or
cereal bars feature high on the snack list of preference. The reason is: TASTE
cultivated by
addiction to sugar, fat and carbohydrates.

Properties of Food Bars
[Para 4]
The combination of ingredients in most of the 'healthy' food bars on the
market, are in fact
not healthy and not suited to the general population. The food market
continues to be
inundated with the less than wholesome food bars, i.e. containing sugar,
honey, rice syrup,
preservatives/additives, trans-fats/hydrogenated products, genetically
modified
components, processed food, non-organic ingredients, allergenic properties,
high glycemic

index components, high protein sacrificing good carbohydrates and in many
cases low
dietary fiber.
[Para 5] In the natural health sector, research has shown that sugar,
especially refined
sugar, is the number one culprit for an assortment of diseases from diabetes
to cancer.
Furthermore, it is addictive. As we know, children are easily addict-prone.
This means that
children who are reared on unwholesome food, become addictive to unhealthy
eating
patterns, and inevitably are prone to diseases as they become adults and age.
This
ultimately is highly costly in the long run- sick employees, over-burdened
healthcare, and
more importantly, unhappy families.
[Para 6] Research has also shown that additives, preservatives and non-organic
ingredients
lead to toxicity in the body. A majority of the population is allergic to one
or more snack-
type ingredients for example: corn based syrups, nuts, sesame seeds, soy,
lactose and milk.
A mild form of allergenic response is lack of satiation leading to increased
consumption of
the allergenic food. Related responses include hyperactivity and dependence on
the
allergen. Foods that may seem healthy albeit have a high glycemic index lead
to diabetes
and, or, weight gain and burden the liver. An interesting tangent over the
last five years has
been the trend of low-carb, high protein diets. Concomitantly, many of the
newer food bars
tout high protein while sacrificing good fiber and of course taste (synthetic
texture).
Heading
Good Food Bars
[Para 7] The lack of sufficient fiber in the body, and consequently less-than-
ideal removal
of waste from the body, has been the leading cause of a multitude of digestive
and systemic

diseases that result from fermenting and rotting food retained in the
intestines. Healthy,
clog-free intestines are important for good health hence sufficient good
carbohydrates and
fiber is critical in one's diet. Some of the recent research on natural health
foods indicates
the importance of basic foods that aid the body in waste removal while
nurturing the
healthy functioning of organs. Natural foods that contain omega 3 fatty acids
and or
antioxidants like walnuts, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds, hemp seeds, noni fruit,
coffee beans,
cacoa, carob, berries, green tea, ginseng, gingko biloba and herbs fall into
this category. A
combination of these ingredients promotes good intestinal flora and health for
all ages.
[Para 8] To date, a sparse number of food bar manufacturers have attempted to
blend a
natural food philosophy into their food bars. However the result has been a
less-than-
delicious food item with insufficient fiber and some allergenic component.
Additionally, the
dollar-cost of healthy organic foods is a high, making the choice between
prevention of
disease through healthy foods a financial strain and difficult choice. In
conclusion, the
"healthy food bars" (still lack a high rating) are far from delicious, and
hence are avoided by
the larger children's market, are considerably more expensive, and ultimately
are out of the
reach of the population who actually need it.
Heading
Our FoodBar
[Para 9] There is definitely a high demand for snack bars due to our hurried
lifestyle, hence
there is a great need to develop healthy snacks that are delicious, organic,
and nutritious.
To date there is no food bar on the market that uses a combination of natural
vegetarian
sources of high omega 3 fatty acids and antioxidants in a low glycemic
foodbar.
This patent applies for protection of a unique Formulation for a line of
healthy, organic,
natural, good fiber and tasty food bars that include a combination of vegan
sources of
omega 3 fatty acids, anti-oxidants and anti-aging nutrients through a unique
binding

process using natural ingredients. Our patent will allow us to bring to
