All veterans of the ARSList awards at RUG (UserWorld most recently) know that the favorite foodstuff for hurling at one another between presentations is the Twinkie. They have also noted that while many were thrown, very few were eaten. Now you can know why. Newsweek has an article on Twinkie ingredients in this week's issue (March 5, 2007) under "Health" on page 50. It is also on the web at http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17303919/site/newsweek/ when I looked tonight. With 39 ingredients, few normally considered edible, it is no wonder that an unnamed attendee last year who had never eaten one took a single bite, turned green, and left quickly.
