I like the reviews!

But i cannot figure out why two of those bars are vegan and two are just vegetarian. Anyone figure out the difference in ingredients?

I guess I’m in the middle. I like hearing about new products on blogs but I’d rather someone just say “this is good, it tastes good, it’s cheap,” whatever instead of a full blown review that makes the blog a little more corporate-y. This is something I’ve noticed on many blogs lately, not just Tina’s, so I guess it’s a trend….I dunno.

Tina!! I am going to say “don’t change a thing about your reviews!”. your blog is very well-rounded and I think a lot of bloggers actually do lots more reviews than you. I think you’re opinions on the products you review are honest and very very helpful (and I remember you even have negative things to say about a few bars… I forget what they were but I remember reading about how one was too green tasting or something).

please take this comment as one reader who really enjoys reading your reviews just how they are!

Hi Tina,
I’ve never commented before, butI just had to say that your product reviews are so helpful!The nutritional stats of the products are especially interesting to me. You save me the time of looking up that info myself…and after all, CnC is a blog devoted to healthy living! You’re doing great, Tina! Hope you have a great weekend.

Anonymous–a “healthy lifestyle” varies for everyone. Tina makes a point of making more healthy choices than not, while maintaining a vibrant work, social, and family life. From what I know based on reading her blog, she is not one to spend her every living moment on finding the most pure possible food choice. For many individuals, that is extreme end of the spectrum is equally unhealthy.

I like the product reviews and appreciate the extra background like nutrition info or ingredient lists so I don’t have to look it up myself. I actually clicked to comment on this post so I could say:

Oooo new bar!! I have never seen that kind, but it looks like something I’d like.

I have to say that I agree with Kate. Onefoodguy — if Tina’s blog is truly about ‘leading a healthy lifestyle’ than why promote (*really* promote) a processed food like Barney Butter? True almond butter should be just that — almonds and nothing else. Barney Butter makes the addition of palm oil AND sugar (listed as evaporated cane juice) to its almond butter. So why is Tina sending everyone looking for this stuff? My guess is that it’s less about promoting a ‘healthy lifestyle’ and more about the free products that arrive at her door.
