90 calorie granola bar in what appears to be it's former full breakfast bar's wrapper
Low calorie food options have become very popular as of lately. For multiple reasons, I am usually happy about this. If you can make the same dish at a restaurant with half as much goose fat, butter, or whatever your favorite lard choice is, great! *(Assuming they are not substituting it with something worse). In general, people don't need as much fat. However, like every fad, it has been taken to a bit of extreme. I feel like some companies are loving the fact they can put half as much food in a wrapper; label it as a healthy food option because it has lower calories; and then sell it for the same price. The recipe hasn't changed. When I purchase food to bring home, I'm paying for a quantity of the substance. That quantity happens to be measured in calories. Now I'm stuck buying twice as many and buried under 3' of wrappers. What happened to the '25% more' marketing fad?
