Keebler's Frosted Animal Crackers
Animal crackers have been a popular snack for kids, of both the little and adult variety, for decades. They may not be as nutritious as a piece of fruit, but they are not loaded with saturated fat and sugar, like many cookies.
However, the 15 cute little frosted Animal Crackers are full of more saturated fat than a McDonald's Quarter Pounder and more sugar than a Hershey's Chocolate Bar!
Check the back of the bag. The second ingredient (sugar is first) is "paritally hydrongenated soybean and/or cotton seed and/or palm oils". A single-serve, two-ounce bag delivers 290 calories, nine grams of saturated fat and 28 grams (seven teaspoonfuls) of tooth-decaying sugar.
That is twice the sugar and six times the saturated fat you would get in the same-size box of Ernie's Animal Crackers, which is Keebler's frost-free version.
