Lessons from the Twinkie trail

By:Roger

Lessons from the Twinkie trail,this article appeared in the Milwaukee Journal Friday, June 1st First written by Steve Ettlinger, "Twinkie, Deconstructed." (Los Angeles times).

And can you believe this from the "All-American" snack? "Although eight of the ingredients in the beloved little snack cake come from domestic corn and three from soybeans,there are others- including thiamine mono-nitrate- that come from petroleum. Chinese petroleum. Chinese refineries and Chinese factories" Can you believe this crap? I cant tell you all the times my union officials at Teamsters local 344, badgered me for owning a Honda Insight (hybrid) to the point of telling me not to park it on the union parking lot. The recording sectary even made a special announcement during the union meeting to inform every one that I had purchased a Honda ! I know one thing for certain I will never buy another Twinkie again, and I would also ask my fellow Americans to boycott Twinkies ! Which also reminds me as a kid I used to read the ingredient labels on the foods which I ate. And in doing so I will always remember reading bleached flour on bread labels, and even as a child of maybe 10 years I always thought to myself who would be stupid enough to buy bread with bleached flour? Actually a complete boycott of Interstate Brands now, would be the smart choice even if they are union ! Also why bankruptcy ??? I bet all these discrimination lawsuits might have some bearing , please click here...
