And actually for myself it is not that hard, its my young grade school kids that I have a harder time with, they are always needing snacks for school for after activities and we are on the go quite a bit once school starts that is what I am having the harder time with. Although looked through pantry last night and wasn't too bad, we already eat alot of Annie's products and back to Nature, and other organic products and we love the Stretch Island fruit leathers that are all natural with only sugar coming from the fruit. Our hardest is finding cereal without HFCS, Hydrogenated oils and colors that are also safe for my peanut/tree nut allergic son, if anyone has any cereal ideas that would be awesome!Thanks Teri JoLynn,

I really feel the best when I'm eating non-processed foods and if I eat the stuff that has HFCS in it I feel really really bad, worse than if I eat plain sugar, even though that doesn't help me either. If you're looking for processed snacks I would recommend <a href="http://www.thefitshack.com/2007/12/11/larabars-a-sweet-treat-with-no-added-sugar/" rel="nofollow">Larabars</a> - they are naturally sweet without any added sugar. Also check out <a href="http://www.thefitshack.com/2008/03/04/tastes-great-more-filling-mrs-mays-naturals-snacks/" rel="nofollow">Mrs. Mays</a>, but they do contain sugar (it's low on the list though, and is not HFCS).
