I am saying this tonge in cheek and really do not propose it

But isn't the twinkie/wonderbread loss to the USA as big as the Auto industry?

Come on Obama, save our Twinkies!

Sorta like time to make the donuts!

I don't think we can outsource these jobs to China either!

If they did, we'll never have fresh bread again!

i hope you aren't saying that I am responsible for diabetes, for liking my wonder bread.

People are free to eat what they would like. I don't get into telling others what they should do with their bodies.

I agree some food is bad for some people. I believe genetics also has a lot to do with diabetes.

I'll continue on eating my wonder bread for now.

Peace.

I never intended to suggest that, and I'm sorry if what I wrote is taken that way.

Just yesterday my husband (a first rate ice cream connoisseur) discovered that Donettes crumbled in chocolate ice cream makes the BEST ice cream combination ever. Better than any blend of Ben and Jerry's ever.

Cruel, cruel fate that his discovery came so late.
