For the record...

Due to some sort of apparent Hostess Pie conspiracy I will not be including it in my special needs bag after all...a dozen or so thumbs down have caused me to re-evaluate. Have a look-see...

Beef fat among other ingredients bring concern to this organic mind. I'm proud of you Mike - your recently touted super food is simply put, wicked f&#$in' nasty!

"Beef Fat" = the part of the animal they can't describe even somewhat tastefully any other way.

"Vegetable Shortening and/or, Animal Shortening" = gotta love the "and/or" ingredient. An other way of saying, "ahhh, whatever falls into the vat that day".

"Sugar, Corn Syrup, High Fructose Corn Syrup" = cheap, sh*t that tastes good.

"Modified Corn Starch Color Added" = "added"? what does that mean? Isn't the entire list what is "added"?

"Red 40, Blue 1, Yellow 5, Yellow 6" = Personally I prefer the Red #38 and the Yellow #3. They went too far with the #5.
