Uh - Oh,
I constantly add a small box to my oatmeal,
yummy for my tummy!Drama is the result of an attempt
to find wholeness & success
in the midst of forces that have been
birthed in chaos and nurtured in confusion.

well think about it, you can either have liek 1/4 cup of raisins for a shitload of sugars, or a lot more actual grapes for the same amount of sugar...

There are many worse things you can eat than raisins. Especially if you are trying to add some weight.

But there are definately better things you could have - banana, milk, thin rolled oats etc.

Don't forget you can also get unsweetened raisins which are better and not that bad, but as Emma said, there are better choices.
