I agree. I'm totally paranoid

about anything I don't make myself.That is why I reserve them (Lara Bar)

for " emergency only " situations.I keep one in my purse. I

usually travel with a cooler full of food. However, there have been a few

times where I have found myself totally stuck- in traffic, or at a school

event where I can't get to my food, and I have used one to tide me over

until I get home. I figured it is better to do that than risk anything

cooked in a school cafeteria with who knows what in it. I'm grateful that

I have tolerated them in this context, but I have not eaten them

frequently or regularly. Everything else I eat is " home made " .

I have not eaten any sliced meat or anything like that.

Agreed. I find the Larabars to be a useful emergency food. Ditto small

cans of tomato juice. (Though not together, generally!)

Since I do tolerate whole nuts at this juncture, a preferred procedure is

to put 2-3 dates, and tuck 2-3 pecan halves into them, squishing the date

around the nuts. I get dates, and nuts, but no spices -- and I control

how much carb I'm eating by controling how many dates I eat. <g>

Once I open a Larabar, it's all over. I eat the whole thing.
