Gotta share this with you chocoholics out there - just bought some Kallo organic rice cakes with real Belgian dark chocolate coating in Waitrose - can't remember how much but probably pricey

Packet tells you to consume withing 2 weeks of opening - in my case it was 2 mins .... mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

And they're gluten free & GM free so officially GOOD FOR YOU !!!!

Please buy in droves so they carry on stocking them

Is there GM rice and chocolate? If not, a claim to be GM free is rather sharp practice, I'd have said.

ah - the 'if it doesn't have one bad thing in it, it must be good' approach

- sorry, I don't want to spoil your enjoyment, but - what is the fat and sugar content of these delicasy's? Is that 'good for you' - no it isn't

- so stop kidding yourself & get stuck in

Are these an upmarket version of the old Rice Crispies dipped in melted chocolate favourites?

there 'is' gm rice, in that it exists, but it is not legal to use in the EU.

- I'm not sure about cacao trees?

So, a claim of GM-free rice, whilst true, is actually a bit misleading as all rice available in the UK is GM-free.

Why not make your own with all organic ingredients?That way you can be sure they are additive free and economically safe.You could even get Fairtrade products to make them.

- sorry, you eat what you like, it is none of my business

- I just get annoyed when something that is 50% fat & sugar in small writing is 'gluten free' or 'gm free' in large writing.

- I'm relatively harmless, otherwise
