Is anyone here a recovering Twinkies addict? I just read about a new book called Twinkies, Deconstructed that takes each of the 39 ingredients ( ) in a Twinkie and analyzes its use and origins, one ingredient per chapter. Since Twinkies can't contain anything fresh - like milk or eggs - because they'd spoil, they're a hodge podge of chemicals and industrial materials.
Really interesting! I'll have to get this from the library. Thankfully Twinkies were never my vice (though I certainly had plenty of others!) but it's something to think about next time we read a label?
