Ok well I was eating a Fruit Leather today and read the back label. And as far as I can see they aren't bad for you. Infact they seemed kind of good. Is this true?

Ah...what the heck is Fruit Leather?
Is that like dehydrated fruit?

They have sugar just like fruit, but they're *certainly* better than fruit rollups!! The ones I've had were 100% organic and all natural...

I guess I'd liken this to eating natural applesauce. Is applesauce bad for you? Eh, yes and no...it might have a bit too much sugar but its far better than most snacks of that ilk.

Good stuff. I'd eat real fruit though and save the leather for your shoes.

OK if it is a convenience thing and this is the only way you can eat fruit. I noticed that they are made with apple puree and other fruit puree. Have you considered just buying unsweetned natural applesauce and throw in a few grapes, cherries or other fruit? You can easily put this in a small container and take it with you. It would be better because it would not be as processed and have more minerals and fiber.
