Eat Wonder Bread and Twinkies. Help folks keep their jobs.

 

 

OLYMPIA, WASH.

 

Hostess Brands has warned its 250 employees in Washington state they could lose their jobs in 60 days.

 

The maker of Twinkies and Wonder bread is in Chapter 11 bankruptcy and trying to renegotiate its contracts with the Teamsters and bakery workers unions.

 

A notice filed with the state Employment Security Department this week said among the areas of the state that could be affected are Seattle, with 111 Hostess employees, Lakewood, with 53 employees, Everett with 15 workers and Spokane with 14.

Traditional white bread has bleached flour. It is DEAD food. If it can even be called food.

 

dunk anything living in chlorine bleach and it dies. You might as well eat cardboard, it has as much nutritional content.

 

You need to browse a good health food store. Madison Market, on Madison by the radio towers. Trader Joes is next door. Or Whole Foods, 4 locations in the area.

 

There is such a thing as white bread made with unbleached flour. But when you talk wonder bread, that's bleached. There's even whole wheat bread with bleached flour, same dead crap.

 

You have to read labels. It needs to say "unbleached flour", because when it's bleached it doesn't always say so.

 

whole wheat isn't necessarily the best for you, some people don't need the gluten.

 

I don't think the criteria should be white or whole wheat, it should be bleached or unbleached when it comes to nutritional value.

 

The best breads are the ones unsealed in a paper bag, you know they are fresh from that morning. There's something about the unsealed bag that makes them a lot better tasting. Nothing better than some artisan bread toasted with olive oil, mmmmmmmmmmmhhh. nom nom nom. You haven't eaten bread until you've tried some of this.

Dead is dead, don't matter how you kill it. Unbleached flower ain't gonna grow in your garden any more than the bleached stuff, so if that's your criterion, you might wanna re-think it.

White bread (bleached or unbleached) still has a higher glycemic-index than table sugar. Eating too many foods like this over the long-run (especially when combined with inactivity) may increase your chances of weight gain, insulin-resistance and heart disease -- even if it comes in a brown-paper sack from an artisan bakery.
