Guess What HEALTHY product this is???

 A: PC Blue Menu Chewy Cranberry Apple Granola Bars

Sure seems like a lot of SUGAR/SWEETENERS in this product that is marketed as a healthy choice. Approximately 2 teaspoons of sugar in each bar. Hmmmmmm. Doesn't seem right. does it??? Low fat does not mean that it is healthy or even good for you. Stick with snacks that don't have an ingredient list! :)
