Enjoy your sawdust!

Good God, what is the deal with these protein-laden meal replacement bars? Is this all the wood pulps shavings from the local mill, gussied up with a bit of sugar and a fake chocolate coating?

I stopped at the Zehr's this morning for some supplies and found these -- President's Choice FastTrack Bars -- in the health-food section. They're good for the program I'm on, but it is just completely not fair to lead me on to believe they might actually taste even remotely like chocolate or peanut butter.

The packaging is a hoot, too. There's a little sunburst in the top left corner -- "NEW TASTE!" Assuming they mean the bar now tastes better than it did before, what was the old taste? Powdery Ass?

At least I feel full now. At least, I certainly don't want to eat another of those.
