I know what you mean. I went to a lecture at Freedom Point this week and ate some of their snacks. I felt fine while eating them but later in the day I felt less well than usual. They were supposed to be healthy snacks according to their standards but they were too processed and sweet for me.

However, instead of making me crave more processed (sweetened) foods, I couldn't wait to get back to my normal healthy foods.
