Ugh...nothing is worse than these!

POINTLESS LUNCH
Smucker's Uncrustables Peanut Butter and Grape Jelly (2 sandwiches, 116 g)
Smuckers’ frozen sandwiches contain three separate mentions of high-fructose corn syrup and corn syrup. In fact, there’s more sugar in these sandwiches than fiber and protein combined. And although Smuckers’ jarred peanut butter is made entirely from peanuts, the peanuts in the company’s Uncrustables are spiked with palm, soybean, and assorted hydrogenated vegetable oils.


Rather than waste calories on cheap fats and refined carbohydrates, make a single, substantial PB&J with fiber-rich bread and a liberal spread of peanut butter. Not only will you cut out empty calories, but you’ll also save cash—Uncrustables are about 2.5 times more expensive than their homemade counterpart.


Eat This Instead!
