There is a lot to be said for eating fresh. There is a lot to be said for eating food that is processed as little as possible. I even support eating fresh local food for a lot of reasons, though I think the "localvore" movement (eating only what is available local seasonally) is pretty f'ing stupid. I've long been on record as pointing out that one reason organic produce can and does taste better is that those products are often heirloom products from when we grew for taste rather than shelf life. The thing is, there is room for debate on a lot of this. The one thing I think that most of us here can agree on is that the politics behind much of the organic/localvore/fad-of-the-week or healthy/nutritious tend to be more than a touch, er, progressive. And loudly proud of it. So, imagine my surprise at being contacted by the people behind Noble Bar. Not only is it a veteran-owned small business, they proudly based their products on the foods of the Romans, Koreans, and the Vikings because of their valor and victories. The nutrition behind the bars seems solid, and they do give a good energy boost. Yes, I have tried all three: Centurion Fig, Kobukson Asian Pear, and Viking Cherry. All three were/are good, and having a thing for cherries (shut up Jimbo), I honestly expected that the Viking Cherry would be my favorite. The Kobukson Asian Pear, however, truly surprised me with how good it tasted and the balance of the flavors, and edged out the Vikings. Sorry distant ancestors. You really do want to read their story, learn about their logo, and check out their products. Nutritious, tasty, and no patchouli. LW
