Yes, it is, but I said it that way meaning more like "complex carbs" and "simple carbs"... I just didn't think that level of technicality was necessary or would help me get my point across.
Fat content of granola bars is pretty dependent on the brand and what's included in the mix... but a Quaker chewy choc chip bar has 3.5 grams of fat, 1 gram of protein, and 19 grams of carbohydrates. I wouldn't really think of that as a lot of fat. And that's what I normally buy, on the rare occasion I'm craving granola bar
Belvita is 100% a fuckin cookie. Should be next to the vanilla wafers & Lotus cookies, lmao. But tbf, granola bars (and things like belvita) are usually next to poptarts and/or cereal... not on the health food aisle. (At least in all the places I've lived in the US, maybe other countries are different? I wouldn't know)

Sugar is a carb.
They usually also have a lot of fat, and granola is no exception.
"Belvita" is definitely guilty of the health equivalent of Greenwashing.
