| I'm not surprised. We as a whole tend to eat a lot of manufactured foods thinking they're better for us (or at least, more convenient); how do we think people survived for all those thousands of years before we made this crap?  (I'm guilty of convenience foods and the energy bar/drink thing in the past, too, I'll admit...)

| I use bars all the time... yeah, it's definitively for the convenience factor - much easier to take out and just eat in the middle of a long winter day in the mountains. My preferred bars are Clif Nectar (no additives, all organic), Larabar (no additives), Honey Stinger (for meal replacement on a looong day - 20g protein, 390 cal). I use Gu more for cycling and running. Nothing wrong with bars. You just gotta read to see what is in them, and yeah, it's obvious that you're paying for the convenience of the bar form.

| There are some bars that are whole foods, too, so they're not too bad. Larabars are great like that. I also have these coconut ones that are coconut and brown rice syrup, mostly. Some have pineapple or something extra in them. Delicious and definitely recharge you. Sometimes it's hard to beat convenience.
