These low calorie bags contain ZERO nutritional value with little to no protein and are low in fiber and natural, healthy fats. Plus, these weight-gainers by another name do not fill you up between meals.
Probably the most infamous “healthy” marketing campaign is 100-CALORIE SNACK PACKS.
Which is better for you body: 100 calories of broccoli or 100 calories of mini-muffins?
GET IT?
I know personally I could easily eat 10 of these packs without getting stuffed- I guess that would be a 1,000-CALORIE SNACK PACK ;)
I've seen and heard parents send their kids to school saying "We're watching what they eat. We only send the 100 calorie snack packs for lunch." Then I see the kids take out 2, 3 and sometimes 4 snack packs. What purpose did that just serve?? Would a piece of fruit been better?
...
Unfortunately, we live in a calorie-conscious society, and marketers truly take piggyback on this.
But you don’t need to be a dope like the rest of them.
Educate yourself.
Educate your friends.
Educate your family.
Remember, the market determines the direction companies will go. If we choose not to put this garbage in our bellies anymore, they will make less of it ;)
