Whipped Peanut Spread Review

Whipped Peanut Spread
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I discovered this great product about 2 months ago and since then have consumed five jars of it. I love it. Hardly a day goes by when I don't have some. No it isn't peanut butter but it has a near nutty taste and mixed with some of the Walden fruit spreads (raspberry seems to work best) makes a great peanut butter/jelly taste to use on crackers, bread, etc. The consistency is pretty firm although not as thick as regular peanut butter it's perfectly acceptable (to me). The color is fine a bit darker than regular peanut butter (not that you can taste color - but it does influence people's opinion). I rarely take the time to write product reviews and was shocked when I came here to look for another Walden product to find that so many people had left negative reviews of this product and felt compelled to leave a more positive opinion. I think if you like Diet Coke and understand that it's not regular Coke than you will understand this product isn't Peanut Butter but just as Diet Coke is a good substitute for Coke and saves you about 200 calories a serving that this "Peanut Spread" is a good alternative to regular peanut butter and will save you about 200 calories a serving (2 Tablespoons).

Hint Premium Essence Water, Pomegranate-Tangerine, 16-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 12) Review

As I have said in other reviews, I normally hate flavored water. Hint is just the right amount of flavor to give water a delicious edge.
It has the added benefit of satisfying a craving for something sweet without going to soda or candy.

The water is a much healthier alternative to other forms of flavor indulgence.

I highly recommend the Pomegranate-Tangerine flavor. I think it is their best flavor.

This is my favorite of the Walden Farmsfruit jams, its actually got tiny raspberry pieces in it, giving it a more authentic flavor. Its quite sweet, so a little goes a long way, but if you're looking for zero calories and delicious fruit flavor, without the sugar alcohols of other sugar-free jams, give this a shot.

Fruit by the Foot Variety Pack (Strawberry, Color by the Foot, Tie Dye), 6-Count Rolls (Pack of 12) Review

Fruit by the Foot Variety Pack, 6-Count Rolls
Average Reviews:

Somebody handed me one of these at a picnic, and it looked interesting -- basically, it was like eating jam that had been left on a plate and dried into a concentrated and gelatinous lump of-- well.... So I looked at the box the next time I went to the store.

Here's what it's a lump of:

--Grapes From Concentrate, THAT'S OKAY WITH ME
--Sugar,ALSO OKAY WITHIN LIMITS
--Maltodextrin,ANOTHER SUGAR
--Corn Syrup, ANOTHER SUGAR -- THE MOST UNHEALTHY OF ALL THE SUGARS -- SO UNHEALTHY THAT THE USA IS THE ONLY --THE ONLY -- THE ONLY -- FIRST WORLD COUNTRY LEFT THAT HAS NOT BANNED IT'S USE IN FOOD.
--Pears From Concentrate, OKAY -- 1 MORE ACTUAL FRUIT
--Partially Hydrogenated Cottonseed Oil,BASICALLY 1 STEP FROM PLASTIC, AND CONSIDERED AS BAD OR WORSE FOR PUBLIC HEALTH THAN TOBACCO
--Carrageenan, COLOR
--Citric Acid,PRESERVATIVE
--Acetylated Mono and Diglycerides, WHO KNOWS
--Sodium Citrate,ANOTHER PRESERVATIVE
--Malic Acid, ANOTHER PRESERVATIVE
--Xanthan Gum,HELP KEEP THE PLASTIC FROM BECOMING BRITTLE
--Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid),CAN'T ARGUE WITH THAT -- AND ALSO A PRESERVATIVE
--Locust Bean Gum,AGAIN, MOISTURIZER FOR THE PLASTIC
--Natural & Artificial Flavor,ARTIFICIAL FLAVOR?AREN'T WE TIRED OF THIS BY NOW?
--Potassium Citrate, SOUNDS LIKE POTASSIUM AND CITRUS FRUIT -- BUT IT'S NOT
--Color (Yellow 5, Red 40, Blue 1)COLOR, COLOR, AND MORE COLOR -- ISN'T FRUIT PRETTY COLORFUL ALL BY ITSELF?

So fruit -- which is already colorful and already sweet, is puree'd with enough sugar to kill ants, then dosed up with preservatives so it has a half-life of 200 years -- AND they throw in partially hydrogenated fats (which are so bad for your that they have been banned in several states and countries around the world -- and will be banned by the rest before it's over) -- and what have you got?Something nobody in their right mind would eat and call "fruit".

This is not fruit -- it's candy.And as candy -- it's not even good candy.Why not go for a piece of real fruit followed by a bit of REAL 60-75% chocolate made with REAL sugar.Chocolate has the highest concentration of anti-oxidents on the planet -- so many that it has a naturally ultra-long shelf life with no zero- none- nada- not-a-bit of preservative or partially hydrogenated anything.

I'm sorry, but I've just about reached the end of my patience with these monolithic companies that market empty calories laced with poison under innocent sounding names and cute, brightly colored boxes with cartoon animals on them.

And don't be fooled by anything that says "Zero Grams of Trans Fat" --if it has partially hydrogenated oils in the ingredients list -- then they're splitting hairs with the labeling laws.Partially hydrogenated oil IS Trans Fat.

If they make the portion size small enough that 1 portion has less than .5 grams of partially hydrogenated fat (even if the portion size is only 4 grams of the food)-- then they are within the law to lie to you and advertise their product as having 0-grams of trans fat!Can you believe it?Whatever happened to the spirit of the law?

Money happened.

If a portion size is 4-grams, and each 4-grams of a 180-gram box contains .4-grams of partially hydrogenated fat -- that means the box could contain as much as 18-grams of TRANS FAT. It's a con.It's a lie.It's trying to pass a lie that falls within the letter of the law off as the truth.I've actually read boxes where the serving size was 2 crackers -- little tiny crackers -- that together weighed less than 9 grams.That's less than 1/3 of an ounce.Who is that supposed to be a serving for?Barbie?

And if you buy these things and feed them to your children -- then you're buying the lie because it's easy, pretty, well marketed, sweet (no kidding) and without a shadow of thought or conscience.
