PopTart Aydenism


Poptarts are bad.
They have no nutritional benefit whatsoever, there are 200 calories in just one, and the #3 ingredient in them is high fructose corn syrup (be still my heart. literally). We never buy them.

Except for the last month, when I've searched for a last minute easy breakfast on those mornings that we're running late for school. If anyone has suggestions for healthy fast alternatives (i.e. eat in the car) for a kid who doesn't like muffins or granola bars, I'm all ears.

Anyway, I just wanted you to know that I don't approve of PopTarts.
And I'm ashamed that I buy them.

Just now....

AJ: Can I have a poptart?
Me: Hmmm.....I dunno.....

AJ: Are poptarts hewffey (healthy)?
Me: No, they are not.

AJ (thinking): Oh.
AJ: Well, I'll just be fat then.

HA HA!
Thats quite funny.

I have just recently stopped buying those nutrition deprived things. But sometimes I find myself lurking in the grocery store drooling over the smores poptarts. They can really hit the spot sometimes.

I LOVE poptarts! Yes, they are unhealthy. But I still love eating them. :)

Elwww! You guys and the poptarts! They're so gross! And I think the regular ones are gross (strawberry, blueberry) and you're telling me that you actually eat the ones that are extra sugary and frosted! SMORES?!
Disgusting.

I'm with you, Rob. That's what I had for breakfast just this morning. High-fructose corn syrup and all.
