Since the Lorax does not really have any specific thing on anything besides consuming less I am going to steal some of You are What you Eat’s thunder and research an Easter favorite, The Cadbury Crème Egg. The Cadbury Crème Egg is my favorite candy of all time. Let me just give it a rundown. Based on a 2000 calorie diet the Cadbury Crème Egg has 9% of your recommended fat intake, 1% sodium, 8% carbohydrates, 21 grams of sugar and 1 gram of protein. All that combined adds up to 150 calories, and by now it does not seem that bad for you, but we’re going to list all the ingredients now. The ingredients are: Milk Chocolate (sugar, milk ingredients, cocoa butter, unsweetened chocolate, soy lecithin, natural and artificial flavours) sugar, glucose, dried egg-white, calcium chloride, artificial flavour, colour. May contain peanuts, tree nuts. Now that we look at all the ingredients we see that it might not be too good for us, with all the artificial flavors, and processed soy ingredients. I especially like the milk ingredients part which I don’t even know what that means, milk ingredients??? I also do not like the glucose and calcium chloride. I think if they made it all natural and un-processed it might taste even better than it does, which would be awesome. I am surprised that they have real egg white in them which is good. As far as where their made they are produced in the UK, and Canada, which is fine by me and I have no problem supporting food produced in the UK and Canada. I’m not going to give up Cadbury Eggs because their one of my favorite candies and deserts.
