If You're a Vegetarian Avoid This Snack

I'm not a vegetarian, but I was still surprised that the Chester's Fries
California Style BBQ flavored snack has chicken fat in the ingredients!

I think there should be a warning on the front of the package to 

inform people a chicken by-product is in the fries.

The back of the bag describes the flavor as sweet and tangy. They're

more tangy than sweet. They have a very strong smell and flavor.

For all you vegetarians out there, I guess you're gonna have to start

reading the ingredients of ready-to-eat snacks to make sure they're

meat-free. This is probably just the beginning of companies adding

chicken fat to their ready-to-eat snack products.

Is Your Protein Bar Bad For Your Health?

For years, cigarettes and alcohol have had warnings on them. Are we

really at the point where our food needs warnings too? A protein bar

sounds healthy, but is it? Some are healthier than others. You have to 

read the entire package, so you know exactly what you're putting in 

your body.

Is Your Protein Bar Bad For Your Health?

The protein bar was given to me

I was hungry...

So at first

The warning I didn't see

The front of the package tells you 

what they want you to know...

No artificial flavors 

And it tastes like cookie dough!

And did you know it's gluten-free?

But how healthy could it really be?

The ingredient list was truly long

To act like it's healthy just seemed so wrong

And then when I got to the very last bite...

I saw the warning in black and white

The bar contains chemicals,

Can cause cancer and reproductive harm

This definitely set off my brain's alarm!

So, if you want a protein bar

Find out if it's really up to par.

Jif To Go Has Shrunk!

A couple weeks ago, Jif To Go Natural was on clearance and I knew it
meant one of two things. It would be discontinued, or they were gonna

change it. They changed it.

Now the box is smaller, and you get less peanut butter. The original

product had 12.oz. The new Jif has 8.8 oz. It's like you're missing two

full containers of peanut butter!

Loyal customers know when a product has been messed with. I

don't understand why companies think shrinking stuff is OK. I'd

rather pay more than get less.

Ice Cream Isn't Real Anymore Poem

 

Ice Cream Isn't Real Anymore

Ice cream isn't real anymore
More fake stuff in it than ever before

What happened to real ingredients like milk, sugar, and cream?

So many food fillers I just wanna scream!

I don't mind caramel, chocolate, and cherries

I even like butterscotch, peppermint, and strawberries

But leave out the carrageenan and cellulose gum

The carob bean and guar gum...

If you eat ice cream 

And you don't like how you feel

Just remember that ice cream 

is no longer real.

Do You Eat Medium Chain Triglycerides?

 

When I read medium chain triglycerides on this ingredient list, I had no
idea what they were. I had the feeling I shouldn't be buying this popcorn,

but I bought it anyway.

Before I ate the popcorn, I looked up what medium chain triglycerides

were, and I immediately knew I wasn't gonna eat much of it at one time.

According to Webmd.com, MCTs can cause stomach upset. I had cramps

every morning for the two days I had eaten the popcorn. I won't be buying

anything with MCTs in it again.

On Drugs.com, it says medium chain triglycerides are a medical food. I

didn't buy popcorn for medical reasons...I just wanted a snack!
