"Twinkids and a Coke will harm them."
"Harm" how?
Processed food is harmful
What do you mean by "processed" and "harmful"?
and a piece of fruit is a great substitute to a candy bar.
Depends on what you need the outcome to be. A Red Delicious apple provides only 80-100 calories, a little vitamin C, and a pretty good amount of fiber. A Snickers provides more calories, more fat, and a little protein. If you need something to keep you "feeling full," either one will do an okay job. If you need some quick energy, the Snickers will provide more. Some people will enjoy the fruit more, some the Snickers. What is the "substitution" going on here?
