What are the healthiest snack bars?
Question
Most snack bars are clearly not healthful. You mentioned two I believe – Tanka bars was one and what was the other, if any? Did you have a chance to find out if the folks supplying the buffalo use corn in the training process of getting the buffalo moved, i.e. for slaughter and of course, if so is it organic?
Answer
The buffalo used in Tanka Bars reside on the prairie and are grass-fed. They are not grain-finished by Tanka.
When they are sent for slaughter, the Tanka company no longer has any control over them and so they may or may not get some other feed for a few days which is fine with me.
The other bar I approve of is the Quest All Natural Bars. However, I do NOT approve of their original bars which contain sucralose.
