Okay, metal detectors I’m fine with.

Don’t groan. This is not a list of different flavored rice cakes and diet foods. I merely want to compile a short list of the foods I buy for those crucial snack times.
There is no way I could go a full day without snacking. I’d certainly go insane and head straight to McDonalds! I try [...]
