Sorry Born2Hula, but they weren't the ones at the station thrusting their wasteful packaging and spurious health products at me. LighterLife might not be a bad product, but I can't believe they really have the health of the nation at heart.

I’d really hope that nobody is going to start thinking that snicker’s bars are the cornerstone of a healthy diet just because of LighterLife.

If you want to be angry at anybody, try being angry at high-street chains who manage to cram 40-odd grams of fat into a salad and then try and flog it as a “Healthy Option”. They aren’t helping anyone.

It may well be healthier, but my point is that instead of encouraging people to understand how to eat healthily we have companies making the most of our ignorance in order to flog products at us. They don’t care if we’re healthy or not; they’re not trying to fix a situation, but simply take advantage of it. THAT’S what made me angry.

When a ham salad sandwich from a high-street bakery is close to 500 calories, a shedload of fat, and almost zero nutritional content whatsoever, a Lighterlife bar is a MUCH better option.

I know its hard to believe that something can be healthy while looking like a chocolate bar, but it really is.

It’s low in calories, very filling, and comes with a full quarter of all the vitamins and minerals a person needs, whch is probably a bigger percentage than most people get from their entire day’s food.

The plastic bag is annoying though, and being pushed things by strangers.
