End of Cookie Information
*************************

Now, as you can see from the cookie info, it DOES have more in it than the
'common' cookie.

It is true that $1.50 may be higher than what you are used to seeing, and
also since I am in MLM you do have the right to understand my bias with this
company.

It might be better to think of this cookie as a low-cost meal for those
who wish to be on a weight management system.  For increasing fiber intake
to the 30 grams of physician recommended AND nutritionists recommended fiber
per day, the cookie makes an excellent tasting choice.  

To answer your question on the taste, I would be glad to send you a sample
if you email me your address.
