This entry shouldn't really surprise anyone. What did you expect from a tart that you can put in your toaster? At least we can give Pop-Tarts one thing: they've never pretended to be a health food - we just love them so much that we keep eating them! Pop-Tarts have always been convenient and delicious and being marketed as a breakfast food means we feel less guilty about eating dessert in the morning.
But taste and convenience come with a price. Pop-Tarts are full of high fructose corn syrup, caramel color, soybean oil, and harmful preservatives. If you want something fruity and grainy, yet a little healthier in the morning, try a bran cereal with plenty of berries on top. Sneak a little honey in, too. It might not taste as great as a Pop-Tart, but it's worth it.
