You'd be better off making your own trail mix, thats a lot of saturated fats and sodium. Try making one with cranberries walnuts, soy nuts, unsalted almonds etc. Make sure you get the unsalted, which are a lot healthier for you and cranberries are a full of antioxidants. Have fun mixing to your delight, i find this to be the best since you cut out a lot of salt, simple sugars, and those icky preservatives.

Sure it is ~ It is from what I believe a healthy snack ! As long as like anything else you dont over do it ~

i dont have to worry about my weight.. idc.. if its good then i eat it.. hehe

The calories arent awful, but the fat and carb content is pretty high. its goof for energy if you are active, and its healthier than junk food. But if you are not active, its not the most healthy snack.

Nuts and grains are very good for you as well as fruits but you have to watch out for sugar. A lot of these trail mixes contain a lot of sugar and for the above serving, in my opinion, that is a lot of sugar.

that's a lot of salt and sat fat.

small amounts is OK but eating alot of it will be fattening and bad for you.

yes but use the portion meter, a lot of salt, not good for you, nuts are high in fat anyways, so just dont eat a lot of it, and eat the fruit over the nuts.
