Administrators ladyshanny Posted September 1, 2015 Administrators Share Posted September 1, 2015 You might want to familiarize yourself with the Whole30 so that you can read the label of an item and determine if it is suitable for the plan. All of our most popular links are in my signature below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zyriel Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I'm sitting here with my mouth hanging open at the difference between the name of that product and it's contents. The manufacturer should be ashamed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators ladyshanny Posted September 1, 2015 Administrators Share Posted September 1, 2015 I had to add the chocolate coated one. Ingredients: Sugar free dark chocolate flavoured coating (unsweetened chocolate, erythritol, inulin, cocoa butter, milk fat [milk], lecithin [soy], natural flavour, reb A [extract of stevia]), protein blend (whey protein isolate, whey protein concentrate, whey crisps [whey protein concentrate, rice flour]. rice protein concentrate), maltitol syrup, glycerine, almond butter, isomalto-oligosaccharides (prebiotic fibre), unsweetened chocolate, digestion-resistant fibre (Fibersol-2), MEG-3 Omega 3 powder (refined fish oil, fish gelatin, xylitol, natural flavour, soy lecithin, cocoa powder, cocoa butter, sea salt, stevia extract, coconut oil. Truly disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpinSpin Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Eat. Real. Food. That is the way to go. #jerf I have been following the Whole 30 path for over 3 years now, and I have never had an emergency situation that required eating a bar of any sort, and I highly doubt that Grok or any of his Caveman Crew would even touch a bar like that. Soooo not Paleo, and definitely not whole30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britishgal Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 What exactly is paleo about that ingredient list?? My gob is smacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeadowLily Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Good one. The word 'Paleo' is owned by no one. There are no hard fast rules to what Paleo is because everyone has a different definition. Paleo is confusing and Whole 30 is clear. Paleo can be 80% 'Paleo' and 20% Dairy Queen. 90% 'Paleo' and 10% Pizza Hut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators SugarcubeOD Posted September 1, 2015 Moderators Share Posted September 1, 2015 What exactly is paleo about that ingredient list?? My gob is smacked. I agree... i don't get which ingredient (cause surely if any, there can't be more than one) the makers of this thing think are 'paleo'. Even by the stretchiest stretch of the imagination, there's no way this is anything remotely close to what conscientious people would consider 'paleo' let alone 'healthy'. Bridget: The only design for health that any of us need is the design of whole food in the form of animal protein, fresh fruits and vegetables and healthy delicious fats! Please don't fall victim to the marketing scam that has blossomed with the word 'paleo'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch55 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Since the USDA is a giant sell out to the likes of Monsanto... since their "USDA Organic" label only requires 70% organic ingredients from honest companies to get the label... Since they let dishonest companies like Horizon milk, that isn't even close to Organic use their label... Since they authorized the processing of chicken to be conducted in China for everything that would appear on your table... Since they decided it's okay for said labels to have NO info telling you where your food comes from... Since they are sellouts like that, I highly doubt they give a flying Rat's A** what a "Paleo" company claims Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
