Which is the healthier snack? M&Ms or Slim Jims?

[Anonymous]

Sometimes in the afternoon I want a snack and walk to my D.C corner market and get some M&Ms or Slim Jims. Actually, a "Sharing Size" of M&Ms or two Slim Jims. I wonder which is the healthier snack. The Slim Jims have more ingredients I don't recognize and more sodium, but much more protein, which is good. The M&Ms have more-recognizable ingredients (to me) and almost no sodium, but almost no protein. What do you think?

Neither. Be an adult and bring a snack from home. Why do you need to buy something from a gas station?

It's a habit.

Peanut m&m would get you some protein.

You could do a regular bag of m &m and one slim jim. Best (or worst) option.

Go with whatever satisfies you. I lean more towards the m&Ms though.

So stop. Take a walk but no need to stop for a junky snack

Why is eveyone on here talking about protein in isolation all of a sudden.

Also saying "I want" sounds stupid.

In English, saying "I want" is rude, harsh, and demanding.

Oh! Cute!

The little one feels entitled to erroneously correct the grown-ups!

Your mommy will be very unhappy you took her phone though. Go put it back.

I'd go with peanut M&Ms. Slim Jims have way too much bad stuff in them.

Alternate. Slim Jim one day, m&ms the next.

Are these truly the only choices? Either is fine on occasion but if you're doing this every day, maybe change it up a bit.

Do they have the healthier meat sticks, like Chomps?

[Anonymous]

Neither are healthy so I think you should choose the one you feel like that day. Sweet or savory.

I get the Trader Joe's version of M&M's. - they have less sugar and use plant dyes for color so there are no Yellow #5 and other artificial dyes that are illegal in other countries.
