I'd like to put in a plug for the Bear Valley Mealpack and Pemmican 
bars.  For about $1 you get 400+ calories of nutritionally balanced and 
flavorful food bars.  You have to buy 50 or more of them to get this 
price.  I know that on my most recent section hike I overplanned and 
left some of these bars in the hiker boxes up in Oregon and Washington 
and they were a favorite item for those whose food worlds were bounded 
by peanut butter, pita, snickers, etc.  If you eat a lot of "junk" food 
on your hiking trips, two or three of these bars a day can make sure you 
are eating relatively well.  (That's an opinion of course.)


I actually eat these as snacks on my frequent job related road trips 
rather than stopping at one of the billions of convenience stores for 
Doritos.


Another reason I like these is that when I buy more than 100 of them I 
get a phone call from a "Mealpack Lady" who identifies herself as such, 
to make sure it's me who ordered.
