Yes. Agreed. I wish all people would eat are all natural foods. But many many people are only looking for taste and calorie savings - -and this fits that particular bill. That's why under What We Liked Least, we put "The ingredients."

OUCH! When the first ingredient is flour and the second and third ingredient is some form of sugar, it's time to run far away from this so-called "healthy" food as fast as you can. This thing is so loaded with junk I can't believe anyone who cares about their health would actually put this in their mouths.
