Organic?

So I got these Bakery Squares from Back to nature. They look very healthy, what with all the claims on the box. On the side it says only 70% organic though. And although it says ‘No artificial preservatives’ on the front, the last thing in the ingredients is ‘tocepherols added for freshness’. I looked this up: Mixed Tocepherols: A preservative. In natural foods it is usually forms of vitamin E. I guess it’s not artificial, so it doesn’t count. I sometimes think all the stress of worrying about eating unhealthy foods might be worse than eating them. :D

The packaging is VERY deceptive, the 5 bars are just 2 x 2 inches square and take up just half the box they are in. What’s the other half of the box there for? :roll:

They taste good anyway and stave off hunger for an hour or so - very yummy! I got the banana walntut flavor. I wish they made health bars in better flavors, I don’t want protein-packed candy bars!

I weighed this morning and I’m at 162.5 again. :)

Food was good. Aunt Flo is visiting so no exercise for a few days, unless curling up in a ball and sobbing quietly counts. Let’s hear it for Midol people!!

    I hate when boxes are deceptive like that. I want healthy snacks that are yummy too. I tried the Soy Joy bars and they sucked. Sorry to hear about AF. She is a B! Thank GOD for Midol!

    Greetings! Thanks for your recent posts to my blog. Glad to see you are on top of these food rip offs. Personally, I have concluded that processed foods should just be avoided- except chocolate, of course!!

    I have read all the Harry Potter books. In the latest, some of my predictions came true and one did not. I won’t tell you, unless you ask! I know some people get upset if you give it away! AND, I discovered that my Sorting hat puppet can also be worn as a hat! Of course, it sits on your head rather an encompassing it. Should prove quite entertaining at school next year!!! Oddly enough I had no interest in HP until I taught the first book. I agree, the shorter books are better. I noticed with the Order of the Phoenix and the latest book, it takes about 400 pages to really get into it. That’s a lot of dedication!

    Take care…
    Shari
