Thank You, Steve Ettinger!
Do you have plans to edify us on the wider perversions of industrial food, additives where you would never suspect (like salt isn't salt unless)
A twinkie is a dessert and presumably eaten infrequently.
I'd like to hear more about the scary ingredients in things considered staples.
Bleeeehch. Never liked 'em even as a kid and at 61 never will. They are crap and taste like crap. And if that's creme in the middle then I'm a blow-up doll.
