    why have none of the die hard clean eaters come to comment on this thread?



    maybe you need to start one "are quest bars paleo" just for the mental image of Homo erectus people hunting quest bars or picking them off fruit trees :laugh:

    Maybe the clean eaters are not going to rise to the flame baiting!!! :smile:

    aww.... you're no fun :angry: *kicks rocks*

    In not baiting. I honestly want to know what

    Maybe they are afraid of being kicked out of the "clean eating club" when they admit they love Quest bars.

    Another serious question: have you ever seen me start a troll thread?

    Almost 10,000 posts and I have never started an intentionally divisive, trolling thread. Not once, ever. I don't play games on the forum.

    I am curious what "clean eaters" think.

    Do I think you have though - yes! do I think this one was intended to get a reaction from clean eaters - yes!

    Then don't rise to the bait.

    or maybe just to find out their opinions.... yes it'll probably end in a bun fight when they do post their opinions but that doesn't mean the OP doesn't want to know what they have to say.

    I'm interested, seeing as the OP said that their marketing is claiming that it's "clean" - I guess with such ill defined terms any company can claim anything is clean, but if all the clean eaters come on here and say it doesn't "count" as clean, then it shows their marketing strategy isn't going to work all that well, i.e. clean eaters still won't eat them, and people who eat protein bars but don't classify foods as "clean" or not will eat them anyway, and not care for the "clean" label

    Except that now, thanks to the silly GIFs and threadcrapping, I won't really get an answer to my question.

    I had a look on their website and I can't see that it is openly being marketed as 'clean' - maybe I missed that advert.

    I think we all know what will happen if anyone posts the response that they do believe the quest bars are clean!

    We all know they are not, but are hoping that someone will have a differing view so we can point out to them that they have more than 2 ingredients and are wrapped in a non-renewable packaging source.

    Literally the largest text at the top of the page is:

    COOKIES & CREAM
    THE ULTIMATE #CHEATCLEAN

    No, I don't think they are 'clean'.

    But I wonder if perhaps they are not advertising the Cookies and Cream and clean, rather saying that if you're eating clean, and you're going to have a cheat, Quest is the way to go?

    That's an interesting thought. Like "cheat on your clean diet by eating a Quest Bar."

    I'm not sure I agree with it, but it's interesting.

    Serious question. Do you consider Quest Bars clean?

    No. The defintion of clean I am familiar with is "natural". Quest bars don't exist in nature, so they are not "clean".

    depends on if I pick them up off the floor or not.

    lulz.


    If I was a "clean eater" I would not consider them clean- no.

    I've watched the youtube clip and read the rest of the details of the product and apart from that strap line (which is ambiguous) it does not promote or even suggest the product is aimed at the clean eating community.

    I think you're barking up the wrong tree with this one!
