Its not the "magic" ceral. Same thing with the slim fast bars, gives you the few calories and vitimans you need just to get by. -------------- .......adversity causes some to break, but others to break records! ......minds are not vessles to be filled, but fires to be enlightened ......Confucious once said ,DO NOT play leap frog with a unicorn

Get in to a lot of good habits and yield results that are permanent, thanks to your new found habits of self-control and knowledge of good diet. -------------- Listen to the Deftones

Can someone explain Their contents a bit? Ingredients: Special k (rice, sugar, whole wheat gluten, wheat germ, milk ingrediants, salt, flour, malt flavouring, microcrystaline cellulose?, Thiamine hydrochloride, colour) and Sugar/glucose-fructose, fruit pieces (Sugar, blueberry juice solids, cranberries, vegetable oil) fructose dextrose hydrogenated vegetable oil hydrogenated palm kernal oil milk ingredients natural and simulated flavour glycerin sorbitol soya lecithin calcium carbonate salt BHT? It says there is only 1.8 g (fat) per bar, but the sugar looks really high... Any comments on "value" and/or when to eat these (if at all)? Thanks D

	2004/06/02, 02:05 PM The best test is if it comes "ready to eat" in a box or a bag it's usually good to pass. Not only is there alot of useless calories but there is frequently a bunch of sugar involved. The same often applies to the "low fat" claim. They gotta do somthing to make the crap taste good so "low fat " often means high sugar and salt -------------- Foolish consistancies are the hobgoblins of small minds. Charlie
