When asked why they were doing this, co-owner Shaabaaz Koshul mentioned how important local sports teams are for kids to have fun and get exercise. It is also important kids to eat healthy snacks such as fruits after playing sports. Edible arrangements are greatly focused on ways to promote Children’s Health. They regularly publish school handouts and healthy fruit guides for teachers as well as generally promoting good habits for good health.
