the oats aren't the culprit...it is the sugar, and fat and other additives in them that are bad...you would have to eat one the size of a toonie for it to be a healthy portion...and where's the fun in that... Oats are actually really good for lowering your bad cholesterol...

too bad though you really were enjoying them.

As the author of the Star*&#ks post I'm happy to tell you that since August 2006 the "Island" oat bar has been dropped.

The "Blueberry" oat bar has 250 calories. Still not great, but not terrible.

Treat it like a chocolate bar (a sometimes treat) rather than convince yourself it's good for you and you'll be just fine.

Regards,
Yoni

Ooooo! Those calories are sneaky evil! It's too bad we have to do research on stuff like that. It would be nice if those kinds of places would stick a little poster up giving people the heads up to the calorie, fat, carb and sodium count in their products. Although that would probably kill their business.

Do hate the oats! Oats are your friend, just not when they are stuck together with fat and sugar.
