Rhymes and Reasons

You see the clever thing about jackernuts is that they suit all folk.
Perfectly tasty for the family; for the mummies, the tots, ideal for lunch boxes, for teens to grab along with their ipod as they mooch out the door to the bus top, for dads to munch on the morning commute or between city meetings.

Yet ideal for sporting bods. Think weight trainers, athletes, rowers, runners, teams, fitness fanatics, gym bunnies, jogging groups etc. This is because of that faithful ingredient that stands Jackernuts out from the regular line-up of flapjacks, NUT BUTTERS. This will give you that protein hit, much needed for fueling exercise.
Plus the organic oats are great for endurance.Slow release energy and all that jazz.
There's no sugar high and after slump with these jackernut babies, just goodness to fuel your body all the way to your finish line.
There don't seem to be many sports snacks on the market that don't taste of cardboard. Most are squished full of protein powders, blends and unpronounceable ingredients. It seems bizzare that if you are so fixated on making your body the best, why would you consume something that contains unrecognizable products? If you can't picture something in its natural, untouched state - why would you eat it?

Below is a label of one of these Sports Bars;

GRS-5 Proprietary Protein Blend (Milk Protein Concentrate, Whey Protein Concentrate, Milk Protein Isolate, Egg Protein, Soya Protein, Whey Protein Isolate), Chocolate With Sweetener (20%) (Cocoa Mass, Maltitol, Cocoa Butter, Milk Fat, Emulsifier: Soya Lecithin, Vanilla), Hydrolysed Wheat Gluten, Glucose Syrup, Sugar, Humectant (Glycerine), Palm Fat, Isomaltulose, Low Fat Cocoa Powder, Flavouring, Grated Orange Peel (0.5%_, Glucose and Fructose Syrup, Emulsifier: Soya Lecithin, Citric Acid, Salt.From Milk- Isomaltulose is a source of Glucose and Fructose.  

And Here is the label of a Hazelnut Jackernut;

Oats, Hazelnut Butter, Butter, Honey, Raisins, Sugar, Lemon Zest


There is NO whey protein. I thought whey was a chemical or something, it turns out its "cheese". After looking it up on the ever reliable Wikipedia, Whey is "left over when milk coagulates", yummy, that just screams appetising.
It reminds me of that nursery rhyme of Miss Muffett....who eats Curds and Whey, until she has a run in with a spider.

Which would you eat?
