Would you give your best friend poison to eat? Of course not. However, the corporations that sell these products [do not] care about your health. They care only about $$$$. These product are truely poison to the body. The corporations are not human & could care less about the damage that they are doing to the human body. Yes, they are portioned, but it is a portion of inconceivably poor nutrition. These ingrediants cause increased oxidative stress (free radicles) to the body (proven). Our human bodies age quicker because of this increased oxidative stress. Sooooo, you nice people who eat these products to loose weight may be loosing weight but you are aging quicker. This is serious stuff.

I eat 100 calorie packs all the time because they do NOT taste disgusting and taste almost like the real thing. I agree that the packs help with portion control.

Those snack packs are disgusting! Funny how the cookie variety includes all these enriched ingredients, yet they don’t seem to make it onto the nutritional label. The reason? Considering how dry and hard that these cookies/snacks are, they are either lost in the baking process or the portions are so small that there is an immeasurable amount of them in each serving.

Better snacks: eat an apple, a pear, a small nectarine/peach, some grapes, pineapple chunks right out of one of those small cans…anything processed or manufactured is not going to be good for you no matter how small it is.

If you’re a compulsive snacker, wouldn’t the wisest course of action be to find out what is making you compulsive? Seems healthier to address the reasons for doing what you do than to substitute it and ignore the problem.

Just my two cents

I agree to disagree at a certain extent with this article. Although 100 Calorie Packs are “nutritionally vacant” they do help with portion control. American society is constantly on a high demand of instant gratification and the easy to-go snack always seems more appealing then making one that is time consuming.
I purchase these snacks frequently and it satisfies my sweet tooth, takes a second to grab, and so far I’ve lost 15 lbs and still going with the help of these guys.
Now, if it is used in a chain eating habbit kind of way, then it defeats the whole purpose now doesn’t it?

Okay–this is absolutely ridiculous! I have lost 14 pounds so far while eating these snacks and let me tell you something—people eat a lot worse when they eat the real thing–so I like these “snacks” which I incorporate with my meals so there are less calories–again–hey–I’ve lost weight–so, yes, they do work!
