Mars bar is not food, it is basically packaged trash. It fits well the place where it was found.

If you fed a lion the average American diet, it would die. And red meat isn't really the problem.

Don't kill yourself. Dont eat trash.

it's sugar. sugar provides energy. used carefully, it can have its place. it's not good for casual/mindless snacking, but i'd eat a candybar when i need some quick energy and can't get something better. i avoid coffee or sugary drinks instead. the sugar content of both is almost the same really, so it actually doesn't make a difference in that regard.

Very well said. A 62.5g Mars bar is a hefty boy and it's only righteous that its size was minused and divided.

I remember many hikes in Snowdonia, the Peak District and a few in the Scottish Highlands in which those 62.5g Mars bars played a significant role in the nutritional planning and overall success.

Eat a Banana. Or a Beef Jerky.
