DietID_TeamDietitians 8yr Signed it! Sad - I used to eat fruit snacks because.... well... it said fruit! Such a scam.

mirasingh 8yr Thanks for sharing. Signed

annefood 8yr Ditto.

danstorms 8yr Wow! This is so helpful. Sticking with an apple a day!! Signed the petition.

DietID_TeamDietitians 8yr Keep up the signatures! Seems nuts that somehow this is legal

Ricky 8yr Signed! When out running for a few hours they're the best thing ever, but yeah, trick is not to have any delusions about the nutritional content.

annefood 8yr Good point @Ricky- when doing serious exercise our bodies need the sugar in a low fiber form! It's when we don't need it, or when sugar masquerades as health there's a problem. I'm glad you brought that up!

DietID_TeamDietitians 8yr Ah yes! I've carried frut chews while doing half marathons and they admittedly help. But not really a healthy snack food

mirasingh 8yr Oh man. Does this mean that the government would count this as fruit in school foods?

Ricky 8yr Haha reminds me of my neighbor so many years ago. "I had my vegetable for the day!" (Referring to her homemade French fries)

mirasingh 8yr Yea apparently the government counts pizza as a vegetable because of the tomato sauce in the pizza. Last I checked, Elios is as far from a vegetable as chocolate cake, but leave it to the government to screw that up 😕

annefood 8yr Oh dear @Ricky but at least they were homemade?! (Trying to look on the bright side.) @mirasingh the funny thing about that is that tomato is a fruit. Way to go, government.

darkchocolatepeanutbutter My idea of moderation is asking myself what have I not eaten in a while? If I haven't remembered the last time I had a soda, it's time for a soda :)

etsummer @darkchocolatepeanutbutter that's the best strategy I've heard of :)

Whoever came up with the term "fruit snacks" is a marketing genius. But the ridiculous code name for candy should be stopped.
