fruit and veggie bars

Tuffy P. brought home a box of fruit & veggie bars today. They come in a box the same size as granola bars, and in three flavours, cranberry & raspberry, apple & pear, and tropical. Ok, so where are the veggies? Let's take a closer look. Cranberry& raspberry contain: apple and raspberry puree concentrates, apple and elderberry and lemon juice concentrates, dried cranberries, dried vegetable blend (tomato, squash, carrot, brocolli, spinach, zucchini, corn, green beans, peas), rice crisps (rice flour, rice bran, rice extract), dried cranberry powder, citrus pectin and natural flavour. I just can't bear it. The box is about three times heavier than a box of granola bars, heavier because it is packed with all that good health. Tuffy wants to bring them along for our roadtrip to Memphis at the end of the month. I'm going to pack my own chocolate chip and marshmallow chewy granola bars....
