[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean, what you describe is still ultra-processed and decidedly not good for you.  I think it may even be worse because you have been lulled into a false sense of certainty that what you are eating is somehow healthy.

It would be better to just eat the mini Snickers every once in a while when you have the craving, because you'll feel satisfied and ultimately eat less than what you are doing with your "healthy" junk food.[/quote]

OP here. There are different degrees of "bad for you", PP, and of course, everything that's full of sugar, fat, salt or is overly processed has to be consumed in moderation [b](sounds like I'm describing 99% of food in America, doesn't it?)[/b]. Isn't it nice that these little candies LACK some potentially harmful ingredients, even if they're just as sugary (but with real sugar) and just as heated/pressed as other candy bars?

I happen to love Snickers. We never buy them: I negotiate a deal with my kids that they give me all their ToT Snickers as commission for costumes, driving and festivities. This year I won't have to do that! And thankfully my kids aren't big candy people. Every year half their stash goes in the bin.

No.  It doesn’t. Even correcting for the clearly hyperbolic “99%”. What you may be saying is it sounds like a lot of the food CONSUMED in America.  Not available.  Fresh fruits and vegetables are still conspicuously available in every grocery store - people can make the choice to buy them or, instead, buy a bunch of overpriced candy thinking they’re making a healthy choice by cutting out out 0.01mg of an artificial color.
