Less Junky Alternatives to Popular Junk Food [Health]

Translate Into:

less-junky-foods.pngWeblog Eat Drink Better rounds up several healthier and more environmentally friendly alternatives to popular junk food, from Oreos and Doritos to Snickers and Pop Tarts. For example:

Instead of Snickers Bars, Try Mojo Bars: The Clif Bar folks are at it again. Their new Mojo Bars are more oriented towards habitual snackers like myself than mountain bikers. They've got a variety of sweet, salty, and nutty flavors made with 70% organic ingredients.
Some of the snacks still aren't what you'd call healthy, but a trade-off for even a little better nutrition can make all the difference. Let's hear your favorite alternatives to traditional junk foods in the comments.
