The only way this could possibly be for kids is if you have kids that don't read ingredients. Organic tapioca! Soy butter! No kid would knowingly go in for that. This looks like more of a cereal bar than a granola bar. It smells really sweet when you open the package. It tastes good; though our old friend "chemical taste" can't resist peeking through the aftertaste a little. Texture is a bit softer than a granola bar - really its just a cereal bar. Its a good cereal bar - I like the taste ok, but I really prefer the texture of granola bars to this sort of thing.
