"Yesterday at about 4 o&amp;#039;clock, Barbara and I found ourselves standing in front of the office vending machine. The advice of the thousands of stories we&amp;#039;ve edited rang in our heads: &amp;quot;Pick something with fiber to fill you up; Skip the refined, processed carbs and greasy chips; Don&amp;#039;t derail a whole good day of eating with one bad snack.&amp;quot; But the candy bars and crunchy stuff were calling out to us. We eat really, really well most of the time so we decided to treat ourselves to a Baby Ruth. To ease the damage we&amp;#039;d split it. (Also a tried-and-true nugget of healthy-eating advice.)  We got the little thing in our hands and that&amp;#039;s when I saw it. Right there in big red-and-blue letters on the wrapper it screamed &amp;quot;4 Grams of Protein!&amp;quot; Huh? For a split second, I actually thought I was about to eat something half-way virtuous. Then my health editor instincts kicked in and I inspected the nutrition info. Well, it&amp;#039;s got 4 grams of protein but it also has 280 calories, half of which are FAT! And I&amp;#039;m talking about the bad saturated kind. This is a HUGE alarming trend in packaged food: They throw in a few grams of fiber or protein and some whole grains and voila! It&amp;#039;s healthy! EATER BEWARE! Just because something says it&amp;#039;s got fiber, protein or whole grains (which every other bag of chips or snack cracker claims) doesn&amp;#039;t mean it&amp;#039;s necessarily good for you. Also look at calories, fat grams and serving size (one bag doesn&amp;#039;t always equal one serving. Often there&amp;#039;s 2 or 3 packed in there.) Then make your choice. Honestly, the healthiest stuff doesn&amp;#039;t come from a box or bag. This is why our eating habits are all messed up. Junk food is claiming to be healthy. It just isn&amp;#039;t, and that&amp;#039;s OK\u2014as long as you know what you&amp;#039;re eating. Let apples be apples and candy bars be candy bars! -Amy Brightfield, Health Director "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
