About Betty Lou's
Betty Lou, whose children are now young adults, explains:
"Over 30 years ago we quit eating sugar. I was looking for treats for my kids to take to school like the other kids, so they could have their 'candy,' too." Having never created recipes before, she began to experiment. "I threw in some crunchy peanut butter, half as much honey, nuts, seeds, oats and that's how I started." Apparently it was a great combination. All the kids who came around got their share of treats, too. "I had the most popular yard in the neighborhood. I was like the mother with the Kool-Aid™ in the television commercial."
Kids liked them. Grown-ups liked them. And they still do as a "naturally nutty snack," with coffee for breakfast, or even as a quick, healthy lunch. Athletes have been known to buy them for a nutritious boost of energy during training. "A lot of parents look for an alternative to sugar items and when I looked in stores I couldn't find anything that didn't have sugar," says Betty Lou. "All our products are snacks that have no sugar."
"I never thought of going into business. Actually, it came and swallowed me up." Betty Lou didn't attend college and has no business training. "I feel like I've had a college education since I started," she says. "I've learned so much from the mistakes that I've made." In her favor is the fact she has always worked with the public. "I'm a people person. I've always been a self-starter. Wherever I worked I was made manager, or order clerk, or whatever. I did my best when I worked for other people and I wanted to see what I could do with my own business."
"Then, too," she says. "I have lots of good people around me. If I have doubts, they say, "You can do it. You'll make it." With the help of them and the loyal thousands who enjoy her Golden Smacker products, she IS making it.

What Is Gluten? Simply Explained, Please!
Gluten is simply the protein part of wheat, rye, barley, and other related grains. Some people cannot tolerate gluten when it comes in contact with the small intestine. This condition is known as celiac disease. There is also evidence that a skin disorder called dermatitis herpetiformis is associated with gluten  intolerance. In patients with celiac disease, gluten injures the lining of the small intestine. This injury results in weight loss, bloating, diarrhea, gas, abdominal cramps, or vitamin and mineral deficiencies. When patients totally eliminate gluten from the diet, the lining of the intestine has a chance to heal. In patients with gluten intolerance or gluten allergy, the symptoms are varied and also respond well to the reduction, severe limiting or removal of gluten from the diet. Removing gluten from the diet is not easy. Grains are used in the preparation of many foods. It is often hard to tell by an ingredient’s name what may be in it, so it is easy to eat gluten without even knowing it. However, staying on a strict gluten-free diet can dramatically improve the patient’s condition. Since it is necessary to remain on the gluten-free diet throughout life, it will be helpful to review the diet with a registered dietitian. A Gluten-Free Life Diet and Lifestyle!
Eating a gluten-free diet can be a gradual process of learning, though some people simply have sufficient nutritional or cooking experience and have acquired enough knowledge to make a rapid transition. If you are diagnosed as celiac or gluten intolerant, it will most likely be recommended for your overall health and well-being that you make a change in diet as quickly as possible. The transition may be a bit of a learning process, yet once it is acquired, there will be a welcome improvement in health.

Yummy snack, but pretty calorie dense for just a "snack." Maybe make them smaller? I had to break mine into smaller portions to work with my diet, but I also ended up experiencing a mild allergic reaction. Probably will not order again.
