Who would actually drop that kind of cash to be slowly poisoned by fats and sugars? The prices of their products (and those of the candy bar companies) have gone WAY out of line over the last ten years. I won't buy snack cakes or candy bars any more...partially because they are slowly killing us as a nation and partially because they are just so ridiculously expensive. It's actually cheaper to get a piece of fruit now...and that's a good thing.
