Majority of American women, including moms, find it difficult to introduce more wholesome snacks into diet; seek more on-the-go options. According to a new survey, nearly all American women (92 percent) report that they are trying to bring better food choices into their homes, yet two-thirds agree that they sometimes find it difficult to introduce more wholesome foods into their diet and their family's diet. Additionally, the majority of women (88 percent) agree that they wish there were more on-the-go wholesome food options out there.  The survey was conducted by Back to Nature--but my major question is what does it mean---really mean--- to be "wholesome?"  Every product wants shoppers to believe that their product is "wholesome." But does that mean it's healthy or better for you?  I took a peak at Back to Nature's web site, and they promote: No high fructose corn syrup. No hydrogenated oils. No artificial preservatives or flavors. Made with organic bananas, organic oatmeal and real walnuts.

If you look at the ingredient list--it's not like I was blown away by it's all natural "wholesome" properties. Is it better than other similar products? —probably, but it’s still not great.  Keep in mind, there is no definition of wholesome, and don't let marketers take advantage of your desire to eat and live a better life.
