I look for the USA label.....always!
I haven’t bought a candy bar for a while, the last time it was a little over a buck. I went in to a convenience store yesterday and I find they don’t sell the normal size bar anymore. Just the huge double bar - $2.50 or a bag of the mini-bite size, also over two bucks. There is no way to compare how much you get in the mini-bite bag with the old standard sized one you used to get for $1. So I just guess they must be much more expensive and they are trying hard to hide the fact.
They’re bad for me anyway.
So, on the one hand you have government telling us that sugar is like a drug as addictive as heroin and that it ought to be regulated by the FDA.
On the other hand you have government subsidizing the sugar industry.
Therefore the government is obviously a drug cartel.
Yes, always look for products made out of taxpayer-subsidised ingredients. After all, someone has to support the scamsters.
Yes, my teeth DID rot out early, but no cared about that stuff back then except dentists ... and they HURT people
Not me ...I look for the union label....and then don’t buy it!!!
Not only were they just a nickel they were twice as big!!!
I thought Hershey moved its operations to Mexico years ago.
Uphill through the snow.
Not only do these sugar price subsidies benefit 5,000 sugar beet farmers, but also large manufacturers of High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS), like Archer Daniels Midland. High sugar prices mean makers of products like soda use cheaper HFCS to sweeten their products. HSCS has replaced sugar in most sweetened foods making billions for HFCS manufactures. Corn farmers are also benefiting from higher corn prices boosted even more by government subsidized corn ethanol.
The almonds increase metabolic action and do not allow the calories to stick to your waist and butt
..also Fig Newtons, graham crackers....etc.
Both ways
On icy days we had to wrap our bare feet in barbed wire for traction...
At last some good news. I certainly need better metabolic action. Anything to get rid of those sticky calories.
You win .. I can NOT top bare footed, barbed wire cleats.
One day I got there late and the teacher wanted to know why.
I told her that the wind was so bad that every time a took a step forward it blew me two steps back.
She observed that at that rate I should have never gotten there.
I agreed, and told her I wouldn’t have, if I hadn’t turned around to go home...
