The immorality of we monkeys runs deep.

We are truly profound organisms.

We even make picture books to glorify our noble savagery.

I'm sure that death by Twinkie in the end would be very sweet and gentle.



To treat a Twinkie as if it is a syringe full of arsenic is not putting the horse before the cart. It's just crazy.

Strike that. It's just dumb.

Saying as much and getting on a high horse? Now we're talking pure, undiluted crazy.

Your argument is based upon conventionalism, not logic. I never said a Twinkie was akin to arsenic. However, it is an unnecessary and low quality, poor tasting stuff that deteriorates your health much slower than arsenic. Famous Amos chocolate chip cookies aren't an especially healthy food, but at least they taste good. All of the preservatives and other added chemicals in such things as Twinkies are also harmful, only to increase shelf "life". The longer a baked good keeps on the shelf, the worse it is for you. Food that supports life doesn't keep as long as Twinkies, unless it is wheat berries or honey.

Interesting that YOU were the one that suggested that this argument was about a Twinkie as if it was a syringe full of arsenic and said that it was crazy and just dumb. I wholeheartedly agree.

That is because you believe in eating such things, supporting such industries and you believe that the inevitable social and health consequences are an acceptable outcome of an attitude toward treating life as if it was some sort of game. If you believe that life is a game, and that it is fun and worthwhile to compromise health by putting bad things in your body, of course you would disagree with everything I have said.
We must agree to disagree.

King Darkness was right. (What else is new? ) I am now stupider for having responded to Blackthornone.

Health nuns suck.

Besides people losing their jobs it's sad for the KC area since the company was founded here. I'm gonna have to search for some twinkies for one last run of fun.

No need. CNN is reporting a company is coming in to buy it. Hopefully jobs are saved and lessons are learned. Don't walk away from good jobs people!

There are other companies like Whole Foods and Trader Joe's that treat their employees well, and can afford to do so because they sell things which promote human health, as well as treats.

My wife works at Whole Foods and would beg to differ, but since she is a morally better person than someone who works at Hostess, it is beneath her to comment.

I guess that Cleveland lady that drove over the sidewalk to avoid a school bus is at it again!

makes me wonder those people that spend 300 bucks on ebay?
what now? what do they do? just eat their twinkies and call it a day?

Reminds me when people were paying 200-300 dollars for the V For Vendetta plastic masks that were Comic Con exclusive I think, and then they ended up in every single halloween shop the year after that
masks that cost 10 bucks now,

Who knew cupcakes could be political - sounds like the trolls are working overtime.
