Curves pushing inedibles

Curves is in the midst of a campaign launching a new food product line. I already have plenty of problems with Curves, but this has opened a new pit of evils that staggers even my imagination.

I got a Curves/General Mills "chewy granola bar" in the mail - 25 grams, 100 calories.

Stats:
protein - 2 grams, not enough to mention, really
fat - 3.5 grams
saturated fat - 1 gram - who puts saturated fat in anything?
carbs 17 grams
sugars 5 grams - seriously, since carbs are sugar, what are the other 12 grams made of?

Ingredients - I am not making this up.

chicory root extract, crisp rice, chocolate chips with confectioner's shellac (choc. chips - sugar, choc. liquor, cocoa butter, dextrose, milk fat, soy lecithin), ethanol, shellac, hydrogenated coconut oil, peanuts, oats, barley flakes, high maltose corn syrup, honey, glycerin, sugar, maltodextrin, canola oil, tricalciam phosphate, high fructose corn syrup, palm kernel oil, soy lecithin, salt, milk, cocoa processed with alkali, peanut oil, natural and artificial flavor, baking soda, color, almond flour, wheat flour, sunflower meal, mixed tocopherols.

Seriously, WTF?! This is one of the worst formulas for anything purported to be ingested that I've ever seen. No one should put this into their bodies.
