Wanna buy some Ho-Hos, Twinkies, Sno Balls or Wonder Bread?

Better hurry! HOSTESS, for 87 years the makers of all this evil white bread

junk just took out bankruptcy!

Something is going on in the American psyche. Back in the year 2000 it was said

that 54% of families served white bread. Last year that figure had dropped to

36% (yogurt consumption up to 32% of Americans who eat it at least once every 2

weeks from 18% over the same time period). It's shameful that these corporate

business men and women were making their living off of killing people with junk

food, but now they are in unemployment lines (or, more likely on the golf course

with nice pension and bail-out plans!).

We still have Kraft, Sara Lee, McKee (Little Debbies), and BimboBakeries to deal

with though.

I'm in my 8th week with the WHEAT BELLY diet plan (see the great book of the

same name, written by the Milwaukee cardiologist WILLIAM DAVIS, MD). This goes

along with bankrupting all the white bread businesses, I think. The book is

fantastic, explaining with great scientific documentation exactly what has

happened to the original eincorn and emmer grains on their way to becoming

high-yield, freaky-gluten, unhealthy grain. Highly recommended!

It's always good to see a junk giant fall. And although it's some amount of

progress, it's an early stage: probably more a sign that people know they should

be eating " healthy " (or do so for fashion) -- and everyone knows by now being

caught with a Twinkie labels you as a low-life junk food junkie. So instead we

fashionably reach for a super-sweet, toxic-oil and flour laden scone or muffin

to make a meal of our 16oz nonfat decaf mocha. Much less embarrassing. Sort of

akin to people shunning Mcs but didn't we learn at Wise Traditions in

Dallas that the nutritional profile of the average American meal is almost

exactly that of a Mcs value meal?

But it is a step I guess. Hopefully form will follow fashion.
