"In the US, Snickers ingredients are: milk chocolate (sugar, cocoa butter, chocolate, skimmed milk,
lactose, milkfat, soy
lecithin, artificial flavor), peanuts,
corn syrup, sugar, skim milk, butter, milkfat,
partially hydrogenated soybean oil, lactose, salt,
egg whites and artificial flavors"
Well, I didn't say it's a lot better. But just look at the list of chemicals in those pies. Yes, I know ultimately everything is a chemical. But sugar, skim milk, butter, milkfat, egg-whites in the bar - those sound more food-like to me.
Again, not saying the Snickers bar is health food. Just saying it's mostly not a chemical plant product, unlike the pie. Anyone who wants one of those pies, or a poptart, or a gas station burrito, I say go for it and eat it like you mean it. It's just not my preference.
