Trail Mix is one ingredient away from being a snicker's bar, dammit people! If one more of you tells me you're sweating your ass off in the gym (on the treadmill, walking, zero incline, at a pace of a 20 minute mile...that's sweating your ass off? You better be HUGE), and eating salads (with ranch dressing and bacon bits and cheese and croutons and...) and TRAIL MIX, I'm going to reach out there and SMACK YOU!
Trail Mix:
raisins (a healthy food turned into candy by shrivelling it into little sacs of sugar)
nuts (healthy in VERY SMALL DOSES, not HANDFULLS)
m&m's (seriously? This is CANDY!)
mini chocolate chips (CANDY!)
mini peanut butter chips (THIRD CANDY INGREDIENT!)
Just because people (supposedly) eat this food on the trail doesn't make it healthy for you! "Trail Mix" was designed as a quick, easy-to-carry, calorically DENSE food (that means a little bit has TONS OF CALORIES) so that as you HIKED ALL DAY LONG you could eat it and replenish your glycogen stores in your muscles.
You aren't hiking, let alone all day long. PUT IT DOWN AND GO EAT AN APPLE!
No more Trail Mix, people. I MEAN IT!
