Twix Peanut Butter Cookie Bars Should Be a Whole Food
Your Honour, I intend to prove why Twix Peanut Butter Cookie Bars should be classified as a whole and complete food based on the Canada Food Guide which suggests that we need all of the following: Dairy, Meat (or alternatives), Veggies/Fruit, Grains and Fats.
Here are the ingredients of a Twix Peanut Butter Cookie Bar.
Ingredients:
Milk chocolate (sugar, cocoa butter, chocolate, skim milk, milkfat, soy lecithin, artificial flavor), peanuts, wheat flour with folic acid and iron (ferrous fumarate), sugar, palm oil, maltodextrin, less than 1.5% – fully hydrogenated rapeseed and cottonseed oil, partially hydrogenated cottonseed oil, food starch-modified, salt, natural flavor, soy lecithin, baking soda, corn syrup, propyl gallate to maintain freshness.
Product is kosher
Allergy information: May contain almonds.
- It has milk chocolate including skim (skinny) milk – dairy, check. It has the word milk as the first word. Good start.
- It has peanuts and soy lecithin (which is made from soybeans and appears twice y’all) – meat alternatives, check. It may even contain almonds. Triple check!
- It has CORN syrup – veggie, check.
- It has wheat flour – grain, check. They have even made it good for pregnant women by adding folic acid and iron. Throw away those prenatal vitamins! Good thinking Twix scientists.
- This miracle of candy manufacturing has milkfat, palm oil, FULLY hydrogenated rapeseed and cottonseed oils and partially hydrogenated cottonseed oil – fat, they really outdid themselves on this one. Always looking out for my health. Bravo!
It also has a bonus ingredient to maintain freshness. Wait! Will I find this in the produce isle?
I rest my case. Let the prosecution begin while I open this baby up and serve it on a plate for lunch. Yum!
Makes perfect sense to me. I vote yes. Wait I live in the US, does my vote still count?
You always count!
