America's Best Snack Foods!

 

NO! Twinkies are NOT our best snacks food ever! Our food supply has become so overly processed, that it’s not uncommon for a simple snack food to contain a list of 20-30 ingredients of additives, chemicals, flavorings, colorings, high fructose corn syrup, MSG, artificial sweeteners, and more.  Sure, we all love to snack. However, as we've discussed before, can we identify all the 'yummy' things we consume with snacks such as Twinkies (and that's before we deep-fried it)? I'm changing my paradigm regarding munching. 

In my sidebar quotes, you will find a comment that if your great-grandma wouldn't recognize it as food, you perhaps would not want to eat it.

Another consideration is............Try this on for size.....How many ingredients in apple slices?.....or nuts?....or veggie sticks? (How long can you make this list?)

Kinda basic, common sense logic. It really can be that drop-dead simple!
