With Baby Morgan 14 weeks old, I figured its time to start to reintroduce healthier eating habits into my life. So I ran out and purchased some Granola Bars as my mid morning and mid afternoon snack. I even went out and bought some Fiber Plus Bars. So, I decided to google it and see if Granola is really good for me. After all, when I did Atkins years and years ago, I learned soo much about reading labels and realizing what different ingredients represent.
So I went to www. ehow.com, after all they know everything don't they, and this is what I came up with.
