Her strategy is, anything can be a health food. If you were starving on a desert island, a Snickers could save your life.

That being said, I'd never RELY on convenince store food rather than my solid PB&J and Cytomax, but sometimes sugar is your friend. And I HAVE done the convenience-store-supported 110 hilly miles. Twinkies halfway, here I come!
OK I'll accept that eating a twinkie would be better than starving to death, but when given the choice of a whole convenience store full of of other tasty and potentially less heart attack inducing snacks - why choose the one that is a tube of hydrogenated oil???
That stuff is really really bad for you.
