I am a little confused.

When traveling I usually carry granola bar or two. I read the customs forms of the country I am visiting and if it says "food", then I declare it. If the form says "fruit/veg/meat", then I don't declare it.

Are people here saying that when I come back to the States and haven't consumed the granola bars, that I should declare them? I just went through GE last week and the prompt said "fruit/vegetables/meat", not "food". I was not carrying any of those things, so I didn't declare my granola bar.
