The Arizona Republic reprinted an interesting article about Steve Ettlinger’s Twinkie, Deconstructed: My Journey to Discover How the Ingredients Found in Processed Foods Are Grown, Mined (Yes, Mined), and Manipulated Into What America Eats.
“When Steve Ettlinger donned a hard hat, a head lamp and emergency breathing equipment before his alarming descent 1,600 feet into a Wyoming mine shaft, he wondered if his quest to find the natural sources of all 39 ingredients in Hostess Twinkies had gone too far.”
the twinkie…next to bacon and beer, the perfect food. and a perfect subject for a book. i laughed out loud reading the excerpt from the newspaper article, which is a bad thing for me to be doing, since i’m at work, and, ostensibly, i’m the boss.
i gotta read the twinkie book.
