You know it’s bad if the DOG won’t eat it.

I know my blog doesn’t seem as if I’m on a diet between baking cookies, cupcakes and treats but I’ve been very good lately. (even lost a couple pounds!) I try to be smart about it. Like the night I made cookies. I skipped dinner and only ate cookies, because for me a diet is math and food is food. If I ate 300 calories worth of chicken or 2 Reese’s peanut butter cups my body reacts the same. I’d know, I’ve been on a diet since I was 12.

Bryce loves those peanut butter Power bars. I bought some, and also picked up these Detour bars my mom likes. Now, I love protein and snack bars. It’s like a candy bar with a “diet approved” stamp on it. But the ones I usually buy for myself are healthy like Odwalla. Mmmm, LOVE those.

Well, I just got home from running errands and I WAS STARVING. I headed to the pantry and grabbed one. It looked okay. It smelled like chocolate. And then I took a bite.

DIS-GUST-ING. Hello, chemicals. Isolate (doesn’t that mean quarantine??) Glycerlean. Glycerine (a Bush song?)Taurine, L-Leucine, Chocolate Flavored COATING, Maltitol, Fractionated Palm Kernel Oil, Natural Flavors (as opposed un-natural, really, how do you bottle up natural flavoring?), Alkili (batteries), Disodium (2 salts?), Tocopherols, Neotame…How are these bars suppose to be healthy if I cannot pronounce or recognize 90% of the ingredients? And did I mention it tasted horrible? YUCK.

So I tried to feed it to my dog because the bars aren’t cheap. And our pug, the living vacuum that doesn’t say no to ANY food EVER sniffed that piece of shit, and walked away.

My fat, gluttonous dog WALKED away from a fake chocolate, fake peanut butter, chemical filled snack bar. Can you imagine?!

I gagged down muscle milk bars when I was doing boot camp, solely because I didn't want to pass out like I almost did the first time. Those things sucked too. It was like eating a cardboard choco covered box.

Seriously, Bryce told me not to get those ever again either!
Might as well just eat a snickers!
