Functional oreos!

February 27, 2008

Thanks to Dr. Freedhoff for passing along his Weighty Matters blog post about Voortman’s new Omega-3 Zeer-Oh cookies. He got them in Canada. Maybe we will get to have them here soon? OK, so sugar is the first ingredient. But they are “Zero grams trans fat!”

    I’d recommend adding a beige colored food dye to the pearly-white creme filled center, for that healthy whole grain look. Double Stuff anyone? ;)

  3. I’m sure some AHA-supported dietician will be promoting them soon, perhaps in 100 calorie packs. Sheesh.
