Yes, VPX sucks. But personally I really like these MRPs. I'm a little worried they might not meet label claims, but currently there is nothing else like them available--even from the protein factory--as they are very high fiber and use ground whole rice, flax, oat bran, etc as the carb source, rather than maltodextrin. Plus they're not significantly more expensive than regular MRPS--so long as you buy them from the right source.
They're still just MRPs, though. Use them for convience, nothing else.
