Sugar Sugar and more Sugar.. oh and HFCS... no good.. although my bf eats them

I've had them, and they taste good. BUT....

The thing to remember with most of the packaged granola bars is they are loaded with sugar, hfcs, and other junk.

It's all marketing - when they put the words nature/natural, healthy, granola, whole grain, lowfat/lowcal, lite, and other choice key words in there - people's eyes jump to that and they think "health food".

There are some good products out there (Kashi is a pretty good one) - but a rule of thumb ----

If it tastes as good as junk food, it's because it is.

Sugar without much fiber. Costco also has the Kashi GoLean rolls. try those

i eat these Kroger fruit bars as a snack between classes at college which has similar nutritional value but has a pretty impressive amount of vitamins including 20% calcium

it doesnt taste so good (tastes like fig newtons which i dont like) but they are dirt cheap
